Nima Nabavi and Sahand Hesamiyan participate in Siraj, the 26th Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival, organized by the Cultural Affairs Department of the Sharjah Department of Culture, on view at the Sharjah Art Museum, Sharjah, UAE.
Under the theme of Siraj, meaning ‘lamp’ in Arabic, this year’s Festival will examine how light serves not only as a physical presence but also as a symbol of inspiration and creativity. Through a vibrant showcase of Islamic art, the Festival highlights how illumination—both literal and metaphorical—acts as a bridge across cultures, guiding viewers beyond the material world into deeper reflections on the human spirit and imagination.
The exhibition is on view from 19 November 2025 through 31 January 2026.
