Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi
Illuminates Sharjah’s Cultural Scene – Tanweer Festival 2024"
This visual project captures the spirit and soul of Tanweer Festival—a three-day celebration of music, art, culture, and sustainability, set under the stars of the Mleiha desert in Sharjah.
Through cinematic photographs, the series highlights:
Majestic performances on the main stage with ambient desert backdrops.
Emotional and intimate moments under The Dome and Tree of Life.
Rich cultural rituals: Emirati heritage performers, live poetry, and communal gatherings.
Textural details of handcrafted goods, rustic seating setups, and organic food stalls.
Environmental sustainability in action—zero-waste stations and natural materials.
Founded and curated by Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Tanweer Festival is a celebration of connection: between heritage and modernity, between art and spirit, and between the Earth and its people.
