Studio Seven Gallery will be opening its doors on 17^th of September to the much-awaited Solo Photography exhibition by renowned photojournalist Mobeen Ansari; “Conversations through Centuries” is a compilation of images reflecting, Mobeen’s passion for capturing undiscovered landscapes, historic architecture, intricate religious festivities, ethnic diversity and multidimensional human expressions. The solo exhibition will be inaugurated at 7:00pm on Tuesday the 17^th of September and the show will continue till the 28^th of September at Studio Seven Gallery in Business Bay, Dubai. The exhibition will then move to Etihad Modern Art Gallery, opening on 30^th of September till 1^st of October.

Even though, this solo exhibition will be a first showcase of Mobeen’s work in the UAE; he is no stranger to the world stage, his works have been exhibited in Canada, China, Italy, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Qatar, United States and UK. Along with a global fan following, the celebrated photojournalist has been endorsed by Imran Khan the current Prime Minister of Pakistan for his book “White in the Flag” which has captured festivities and lifestyles of religious minorities residing in Pakistan; in an effort to educate tolerance and celebrate diversity.

Mobeen Ansari explains the background about this exhibition, “As a photographer in Pakistan, what gives me immense joy, is to travel across the country, to far flung places and every nook and cranny, and take photos of the diverse cultures, landscapes and history- and bring them to the world. Pakistan for me is like a country of many countries, and in my 17 years as a photographer I have captured diversity of the land; which has a history and histories dating back centuries. Many conversations took place across the Himalayas, deserts, forest and places of worship for all of Pakistan’s existence, and beyond. This experience for me was also like travelling back in time, and attempting to bring back some of the folklore to life; hence the title – Conversations Through Centuries”.

“Conversations through Centuries”, will be the starting point of Mobeen’s series of exhibitions and seminars in the region, followed by Xposure in Sharjah and concluding the solo exhibition at Eithad Modern Art Gallery in Abu Dhabi during his UAE tour in September 2019.

Mobeen Ansari is a multifaceted Artist, from being an acclaimed Photojournalist, to a thriving Author and an award winning Filmmaker; this one-man wonder is also a remarkable speaker who often shares his own story of perseverance to inspire millions.
