Vote for your favourite art created by construction workers and Dubai artists


  • English
  • Arabic

Community initiative the [sameness] project is inviting residents to vote for their favourite art chosen from 43 pieces created by construction workers with the help of Dubai-based professional artists.

Last month, the project launched the Restart the Art campaign, giving the workers an opportunity to share their stories and hopes through drawings and chats with artists.

The four artworks with the highest number of votes will be specially featured on construction-company buses that will be launched during Art Dubai (March 18-21) this month. All the artworks – and the stories behind each collaboration – are on the website.

To vote, visit Restart the Art .
