ArtDayME: “The Spirit of Existence” exhibition by Sheikha Khawla Bint Ahmed Bin Khalifa Al Suwaidi, Founder of the Khawla Art and Cultural Foundation, wife of Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi, is now on display at the Central Library of Museo Universidad de Navarra University, Pamplona, Spain, in collaboration with Khawla Art & Culture.

Simultaneously with this exhibition, it was announced that The Board of Directors of the University of Navarra Museum in Spain announced that Sheikha Khawla bint Ahmed Khalifa Al Suwaidi, was appointed as a board member.

The appointment is unprecedented within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, as Sheikha Khawla has become the first Arab artist to be granted a position on the university’s board.

Sheikha Khawla considered her inclusion as the first Arab cultural and artistic figure among a distinguished group of prominent artists, intellectuals, and researchers on the prestigious museum’s board as a significant recognition, which reflects the university’s commitment to promoting cultural diversity among its board members. Simultaneously, this appointment sends a powerful message that dialogue between cultures enhances cultural exchange and facilitates the dissemination of art that transcends barriers. Art, Sheikha Khawla said, is a universal language, enabling it to play a vital role in fostering understanding, tolerance, and connections among civilisations.
