To bridge our common humanity through the exchange of knowledge, dialogue and the practice of faith
In partnership with Squint Opera, a longstanding creative collaborator, we were commissioned to create the media content for three installations and enhanced soundscapes for the Forum exhibition, in the Abrahamic Family House. Located on Saadiyat Island, in Abu Dhabi, the Abrahamic Family House is a unique institution that encompasses a mosque, a church and a synagogue, alongside the Forum.

Working alongside incredible creative partners
- 16 individual research institutes and stakeholders combined in a single, unified experience.
- Immersive digital technology and live presenters combined to create a theatrical but human experience.
- Large-scale and bespoke experience designed and realised on time and on budget to fast-tracked 9 month programme.
Journeys of faith
The Forum is not affiliated to any religion – it is a place for members of diverse faith communities to exchange knowledge, share experience and nurture mutual understanding. The themed media installations present journeys of faith through everyday lives, the symbolism of light, the importance of the word, and coming together in places of worship, across the three Abrahamic religions.
Each installation expresses moments of shared experience, underpinned by the core values of Abrahamic Family House: mutual respect, empathy and tolerance. The media installations provide moving, emotional, and spiritual content that inspires contemplation. They grow from, and respond to, the simplicity and beauty of the architecture of the Abrahamic Family House, a landmark building among the world class architecture of Saadiyat Island.
