Summer Whispers Beneath the Trees: A group art exhibition inspired by nostalgia, nature, and storytelling opens in Dubai

A nostalgic summer art exhibition by Noora – The Divine Spark and author Purva Grover, will run from August 13 until August 19 at Qube Art Gallery, Dubai

This August, Qube Art Gallery invites art and literature lovers to step into a world of warm memories, whispered stories, and the eternal presence of trees. The group exhibition, "Summer Whispers Beneath the Trees," curated by Noora – The Divine Spark, in collaboration with acclaimed Dubai-based author Purva Grover, opens on August 13, 2025, at Qube Art Gallery, Al Quoz 3, Dubai.

Inspired by Grover's poignant book The Trees Told Me So, the exhibition explores themes of childhood, nostalgia, imagination, and the quiet wisdom of nature. Grover's short stories portray trees as silent witnesses to human experiences—keepers of secrets, grief, joy, and wonder. These themes are reimagined and brought to life by a thoughtfully selected group of UAE-based and international artists.

Join them on a journey back to the summers of wonder, through the eyes and expressions of internationally based and UAE-based artists. Bhairavi Mistry, art curator at Noora – The Divine Spark, has curated the collection alongside artists. Featured artists include: Moones Ben Romdhane (Tunisia), Heinz Katzenmeier (Switzerland), Marina Muradian (Kyrgyzstan), Ankita Chatterjee (Singapore), and Dubai-based Indian artists Mona Biswarupa, Kiran Kumar, Ria Shanker, Natasha Desai, Chandralekha Dubey, Sabah Anees, Ranjisha Raghavan, Uma Ravichandran, alongside India-based artists Madhumita Bhattacharya and Bharti Singh.

The opening day highlights will include:

• Live Reading Session: Author Purva Grover will present excerpts from The Trees Told Me So, offering personal insights into how each story connects with the exhibited artworks.

• "Memory Tree" Installation: Visitors will be invited to write summer memories, secrets, or hopes on leaf-shaped cards and hang them on a symbolic tree. As the exhibition progresses, this tree will evolve into a collaborative, living artwork that captures the voices and emotions of all who visit.
