Mohammed V University — proposals

SAN Projects developed a mural proposal for Mohammed V University in Abu Dhabi in 2020. The concept considered how art could contribute to a campus devoted to Islamic studies, social sciences and the humanities, using the university’s educational setting as the starting point for a visual programme.

The proposal explored murals as places for encounter and reflection within the routes of campus life. Its focus was on the relationship between learning, creativity and the shared environment, with public art conceived as part of how the university could be experienced by students and visitors.

The project belongs to SAN Projects’ cultural planning work, where research into a place and its community informs the brief before artists and artworks are brought into the design.
