    This is showbiz at its finest – get ready to experience a light show every night of your visit to Expo 2020 Dubai. Kaleidoscope, an outdoor night-time light festival, will illuminate structures designed by ‘starchitects’ – including Asif Khan, Foster + Partners, Grimshaw and Hopkins Architects - and landscaped public areas on site. Kaleidoscope projects include photography, light and visual arts. Global festivities, namely Diwali and Christmas, will be brought to life with the festival across the venue, telling powerful stories in immersive ways. | Above: Al Wasl Plaza, heart of Expo, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture.

    The Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Awards (HIPA) is providing much of the light show’s imagery and has been specially chosen to link to Expo’s subthemes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability using imagery from HIPA’s archive, which stretches back to its founding in 2011. Grant Reid, Vice President, Events and Entertainment, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “While the past 18 months have been unprecedently challenging, we believe that collaboration can inspire a better future – something we hope to highlight in our light show. A kaleidoscope is symbolic: once shaken, it shows something new but equally beautiful; and light has the power to conquer darkness. Through Kaleidoscope, our subthemes – Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability – will be vividly brought to life, reminding us of their relevance now more than ever before.” | Above: Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion designed by UK-based Grimshaw Architects.
