ADACH Platform for Visual Arts was an initiative by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) to showcase and promote contemporary visual art from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In 2009, it participated as an official collateral event at the 53rd Venice Biennale, aiming to introduce the conditions and developments of contemporary culture and visual art emerging in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Created under the artistic direction of Catherine David, the platform served as a meeting point for discourse and artistic production, featuring a dynamic array of presentations and exchanges.
