Dubai Street Museum - 2016

The first phases of Dubai Street Museum brought international and UAE mural artists together to create works inspired by the country’s history and heritage. Developed by the Government of Dubai and Dubai Municipality, the programme introduced large-scale painting to neighbourhoods across the city.
The murals connected contemporary artistic approaches with local stories, placing art in public spaces used by residents and visitors.
SAN Projects’ production work brought the participating artists and their commissions into a shared public programme. This archive records the early Dubai Street Museum works and their relationship with the city’s existing buildings. The 2nd December Street project provides a closer look at the initiative’s heritage-led approach in Satwa.
