On December 7, 2023, the Women's Pavilion at Expo City Dubai unveiled an exhibition called 'Resonating Tides: Stories on the Edge of Tomorrow’s Anthropocene,' which will run until March 2024. Curated by Italian-Canadian artist Janet Bellotto, the show coincides with the COP28 climate summit and features pieces from 13 female artists, such as Ghada Khunji, Stephanie Neville, and Magda Malkoun.
