The Abu Dhabi edition took place inside the decommissioned Terminal 1 at Zayed International Airport — an icon of regional modernism conceived in the late 1970s by Paul Andreu, the renowned architect behind Paris’ Charles de Gaulle. Closed to the public for years, the terminal was reimagined by NOMAD in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi. This edition unfolded at a pivotal cultural moment, enriching the UAE’s vibrant arts landscape and echoing the architectural and artistic vision of Saadiyat Island, home to one of the world’s most ambitious museum districts.
