    UAE music director and composer Muhammad Al Ahmad adds a sonic element to the exhibition. “My goal is to make aesthetes to dive deep into the painting and understand the role of the Emirati woman and the impact she had on our society throughout the generations and still. The beauty of digital exhibition is that it has no limits, similar to art. ‘Al Mabrouka’ can be seen from anywhere and anytime around thew world,” says Abdulla. Image Credit: Supplied
