Riyadh: AlUla is set to strengthen its global profile in design with the Life of Forms exhibition, which will take place during Paris Design Week 2026 from September 8 to 13. Presented by the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) through Arts AlUla in collaboration with the French Agency for AlUla Development (AFALULA), the exhibition will form part of the AlUla Cultural Season in Paris.

According to Saudi Press Agency, Life of Forms will bring together works by artists and designers developed through AlUla's artist residency programs, exploring the relationship between contemporary art and design. It will highlight the role of natural materials, traditional crafts, and creative practices in shaping contemporary design perspectives.

The exhibition extends the Saudi-French cultural partnership and reflects the collaboration between RCU and AFALULA to support creative initiatives, expand artist and design residency programs, and strengthen AlUla's position as a global hub for arts, design, and cultural exchange. Life of Forms is one of the highlights of the AlUla Cultural Season in Paris, which features a range of international events and initiatives showcasing the governorate's cultural and creative landscape while fostering cooperation between Saudi and French cultural institutions.

The exhibition also highlights Arts AlUla's efforts to build an integrated cultural ecosystem rooted in AlUla's historical and natural heritage, support the growth of creative industries, and provide international platforms to promote artistic and cultural projects. These efforts align with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to advance the cultural sector and strengthen the Kingdom's global presence.
