Angola Image Gallery

For thousands of years, Angola’s Chokwe people have preserved their cultural wisdom through looping Sona drawings, in which special symbols are sketched into the sand and passed down through generations. The Angola Pavilion at Expo 2020 pays homage to this ancient tradition of knowledge sharing, connecting it with the nation’s emerging innovation industry.

With lush displays of Angolan flora, immersive exhibits and installations of modern and traditional art, the pavilion takes you on a Sona-inspired journey through contemporary Angola. Explore installations from contemporary Angolan artists, browse traditional Angolan crafts and more.


Angola

The Angola Pavilion architecture evokes both modernist design and the looping shapes of Angolan Sona sand drawings. It is anchored by a golden, geometric sunburst held aloft by a ring of tall, slim silver pillars.

As the caretakers of Earth’s mightiest waterway, the epic Amazon River, Brazilians have a unique appreciation of the beauty, power and importance of our shared water resources. Now, with the meditative Brazil Pavilion, they’ve brought an authentic, multisensory Amazonian experience to the Dubai desert. Strikingly fashioned from tensile steel and white fabric, the pavilion recreates the sights, sounds and even aromas of the Amazon basin, complete with a thin flood of water in the main exhibit area and immersive projections of the rainforest all around. And don’t worry: If you’d rather not get your feet wet, boots will be provided.

Brazil Features

The Brazil Pavilion is an immense, shallow rectangular pool carved with gentle curves. A boxy, 18-metre-high steel structure stretched with translucent, white fabric panels seems to float over the pool on columns, referencing Brazil’s riverside stilt houses.

Youthful yet rich with history, innovative yet deeply traditional, Jordan seamlessly blends modern ingenuity with the wisdom of a legendary ancient culture. The Jordan Pavilion explores this exciting duality through captivating exhibits filled with dramatic contrasts: light versus dark, antique versus new. Nowhere is this theme more evident than in the pavilion’s magnificent entry portal, which uses clean, curving lines to evoke the Siq canyon that leads to the famed city of Petra.
