SHANKAY

Shankay Gallery, based in the United Arab Emirates, operates as a traveling hub for global art projects. We collaborate with artists who bring critical perspectives to contemporary issues, aiming to elevate their personal narratives and amplify their presence in the international art circuit. Inspired by Dubai’s spirit as a crossroads city, Shankay showcases artists from diverse backgrounds at defining moments in their careers.

We work with artists inhabiting the art world from unconventional perspectives, focusing on installation, design, street art, experimental, and multidisciplinary practices. Our support emphasizes larger-scale projects, strengthening artistic research, and broadening access to diverse audiences.

Shankay Gallery seeks to build bridges between emerging markets, connecting Europe and Asia through unexpected networks of circulation. Challenging traditional gallery models that confine local narratives to local contexts, Shankay fosters genuine global conversations with the power to impact everyday life.
