An elegant fusion of Asian and Arabian designs, the Japan Pavilion is enclosed within a rectangular façade that resembles folded white origami.

Human beings need artworks interpreted with their own intellectual perspectives, to exist in the society, to continue its existence, and to be able to adopt the culture of society. Thus, they can give meaning to what happens around, sustain their life with an aesthetic concern and develop them in physical, emotional, and mental way.

As part of the 'digital' era, artists and art lovers can now embrace virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence through art experiences. However some curators and galleries strongly believe that art needs to be experienced.

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.
