On October 19, 2024, AUD hosted ‘Expectations’, a one-day exhibition organized by SheSays Dubai, which spotlighted the innovative work of its chapter members. Curated by Professor Dina Faour, Chapter Lead for SheSays Dubai, the event was designed to foster creativity and collaboration within the female creative community. Professor Faour was supported in this effort by AUD graduate Sahar Ghavami.

The exhibition featured a diverse range of creative works and included a networking session, where members exchanged ideas and explored potential collaborations. A highlight of the event was the launch of the SheSays mentorship program, which aims to connect emerging talents with established professionals, empowering the next generation of creative women.
