The UAE is renowned for its awe-inspiring modern architecture and bustling city life. However, amid the towering skyscrapers and futuristic structures, the streets here also boast an artistic expression that connects its people to their rich heritage and traditions.
The streets of Jumeirah in Dubai, for instance, have become a canvas for creativity, with murals adorning various locations, including residential complexes and popular tourist attractions.
These murals bear the signatures of local and international artists who have mastered the art of graffiti, which has gained an official status in Dubai. It is no longer mere scribbles on walls but a vibrant art form that speaks of life. “Brand Dubai,” the creative arm of the Dubai Media Office, has played a significant role in promoting this creative phenomenon, producing magnificent murals across different areas of Dubai.
Far from ordinary drawings; they serve as vivid reflections of the Emirati heritage and culture. Many of the paintings depict Emirati children dressed in traditional attire, offering a glimpse into the nation’s past and the roots of its customs. The murals also pay homage to historical landmarks, showcasing the captivating architecture of old Emirati heritage buildings. By capturing these scenes on the walls of modern Dubai, the murals act as a bridge between the past and the present, ensuring that the younger generation stays connected to its roots.
One of the remarkable aspects of these murals is their ability to evoke childhood memories and revive traditional popular games that Emirati children once enjoyed. These games not only entertain but also educate the youth about the country’s rich history and customs. As the current generation experiences these enjoyable pastimes depicted on the walls, they develop a deeper understanding of their ancestors’ ways of life. These murals play a significant role in keeping these traditions alive, ensuring that the cultural heritage is passed down from one generation to the next.
These powerful artworks symbolise the deep respect and admiration the people of UAE hold for their visionary leaders. Through these murals, the founders’ legacies are immortalised in public spaces, reminding the citizens of the values they instilled in the nation and inspiring future generations to carry them forward
