In 1978, she secured the lease on a wind tower villa where she played host to many informal soirees in the ‘majlis’, hence the name, introducing artists both professional and amateur to a somewhat culturally bereft community over the next 10 years.
The gallery’s vision then and now is to bring to Dubai artists of international repute and to support them in their exploration and interpretation of the Middle East into visual forms.
