Iraq - Copie

The energetic Iraq Pavilion takes the undulating form of a traditional al saliya fishing net, symbolic of wealth, wisdom and goodness in Mesopotamian culture. Step underneath the vast canopy to get caught up in a range of exciting exhibits sharing the determination and vision of this Middle Eastern nation’s newest generation of leaders, makers and artists. Immerse yourself in millennia of rich history and heritage, then meet face-to-face with proud Iraqi business owners and innovators.

A broad canopy of diamond-patterned white metal is shaped to look like a net cast from a boat into the water. The canopy forms a wavy shell that shades open air exhibits below. Each diamond is filled with yellow, orange or red panels, creating a gradient of warm hues. Once underneath the net, a wide path lined with media panels details the history and future of Iraq, ending at a large shaded stage area framed by palm trees.

Expo 2020 Dubai Opening Ceremony

Long ago, travellers referred to Dubai as Al Wasl, or “the connection” – a name that reflects the area’s heritage as a meeting point. This spirit of coming together takes shape in Al Wasl Plaza, Expo 2020’s spectacular centrepiece and gathering ground for celebration and wonder. 

Situated at the meeting point of Expo’s three thematic districts, Al Wasl Plaza's dome is tall enough to fit the Leaning Tower of Pisa beneath it. By night, she transforms into a 360-degree projection screen, blanketed by more than 250 state-of-the-art projectors. Al Wasl Plaza is a hub for visitors and the vibrant heart of our Expo.

Technology is considered a science of craft, it is a development of skills that are used to produce tangible and intangible goods and services. Heritage crafts are systems that are created to produce an outcome or series of products that identify a society, preserving its culture. Some Emirati crafts include Talli and Safeefah weaving, which resulted into products used in multifunctional manners. This session will focus on the future of urban design, textiles, fashion, and architecture.

Crafting the Future

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.
