Style Meets Sustainability: “Faces of the Middle East” at EPIC

Dubai One’s TV anchor and author of Faces of the Middle East Hermoine Macura displayed her photographic work at EPIC, the UAE’s first Sustainable Living Exhibition. This unique consumer lifestyle show featured a range of eco-friendly activities and brands which promote a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

Macura’s poignant photographs were displayed at the event. Taken over a span of seven years, her striking images capture another side of the region- one which tells the story of the minority groups, historical monuments and everyday people which make up the fascinating multi-layered region of the Middle East.

Macura spoke to guests about her photographs and how to inspire a positive lifestyle change. Being aware of one’s surrounding culture and environment is a necessary acknowledgment towards the betterment and welfare of mankind. By helping others and taking care of the natural world we ultimately assist the development of our own well being.
