Creativity and Culture at the Core of Khazzan X Cadillac’s First Exhibition

A unique photographic exhibition featuring the untold stories of Saudi culture and scenery is on display this week at a new creative, community space in Dubai.

As part of Cadillac’s continued efforts to inspire people to dare greatly, Khazzan X Cadillac is a space in Al Khazzan Park created for people to come together and share bold ideas, creativity and culture. The exhibition, which was launched last weekend and will run to February 11, is by Hussain Daghriri, a storytelling photographer from Saudi Arabia who collaborated with Cadillac to capture the culture of Southern region of Saudi Arabia.

The first exhibition at the space by Hussain – ‘Emotion & Motion’, is a collection of beautifully captured images of Saudi Arabian folklore that he experienced firsthand on his recent 5,000km road trip across Southern Saudi Arabia in collaboration with Cadillac. The journey took him to a number of different historical and cultural areas.

“Cadillac is a brand that caters to the new generation, who appreciate design and technology and look for ways to stand out from the crowd,”  said Nadim Ghrayeb Regional Sales and Marketing Manager, Cadillac Middle East.

“The whole concept behind Khazzan x Cadillac is a bold idea in itself. We are about celebrating breaking boundaries and self-expression. The park is an urban platform that facilitates and encourages young talent like Hussain Daghriri, to showcase their point of view, their work and their creativity,” said Ghrayeb.

Hussain Daghriri commented during the opening of the exhibition, “My trip to the Southern region of Saudi Arabia was a memorable one, experiencing and capturing the rich culture of the region, including various folklore dances. Khazzan X Cadillac is the ideal platform for my exhibition to educate the region of the Saudi culture.”
