Revealing the uniting threads of humanity
The 2025 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity ceremony centred on the idea that we are more alike than different - united by a shared thread of humanity. Inspired by the UAE’s weaving heritage, we created an visual journey to bring this to life through crafted details, collaborations with local artisans, and globally sourced materials. Woven fabrics formed the illuminated stage backdrop, each embroidered with illustrations of past honourees and communities, symbolising the strength of connection across cultures.
