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&#8217;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 &#8211; Conversations Through Centuries\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cConversations through Centuries\u201d, will be the starting point of Mobeen\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition Details: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dubai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Title:\u00a0\u201cConversations through Centuries\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Genre:\u00a0Solo Photography Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>Opening Date:\u00a017<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0September 2019 (Tuesday)<\/p>\n<p>Opening Night Timing: 7pm till 10pm<\/p>\n<p>Exhibition Dates:\u00a017<sup>th<\/sup> till 28<sup>th<\/sup> of September 2019<\/p>\n<p>Gallery Timings:\u00a010am till 7:00pm<\/p>\n<p>Venue:\u00a0Studio Seven Gallery, Oxford Tower, 804, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharjah<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Title:\u00a0\u201cThe Land We Came\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Genre:\u00a0Xposure \u2013 International Photography Exhibition Festival<\/p>\n<p>Exhibition Dates:\u00a019<sup>th<\/sup> till 22<sup>nd<\/sup> of September 2019<\/p>\n<p>Venue:\u00a0Expo Centre, Sharjah, UAE<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abu Dhabi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Title:\u00a0\u201cConversations through Centuries\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Genre:\u00a0Solo Photography Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>Opening Date:\u00a030<sup>th<\/sup> September 2019<\/p>\n<p>Opening Night Timing: 7pm till 10pm<\/p>\n<p>Exhibition Dates:\u00a030<sup>th<\/sup> September till 1<sup>st<\/sup> October 2019<\/p>\n<p>Gallery Timings:\u00a010am till 7:00pm<\/p>\n<p>Venue:\u00a0Etihad Modern Art Gallery, Abu Dhabi<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21203\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1A-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21204\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1B-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21205\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1C-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21206\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1D.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio Seven Gallery will be opening its doors on 17th of September to the much-awaited Solo Photography exhibition by renowned photojournalist Mobeen Ansari; \u201cConversations through Centuries\u201d is a compilation of images reflecting, Mobeen\u2019s passion for capturing undiscovered landscapes, historic architecture, intricate religious festivities, ethnic diversity and multidimensional human expressions.
