PBC-DNE's TRIBE supports Filipino artists as TeryMari Gallery debuts in Dubai
Founded by Maria Teresa Santos, TeryMari Gallery began as an online platform dedicated to showcasing emerging and established Filipino artists. In collaboration with TRIBE, the gallery is now launching its premiere artist collection through a cultural exhibition titled 'TWO SUNS RISE,' running from July 13 to 31, 2025, at MAVON Gallery, Sheikh Zayed Road.
The exhibition features eight Filipino visual artists in dialogue with Emirati artist Khalid Salem, highlighting shared stories of identity, cultural migration, and creative expression. The works span multiple styles, from surrealism to abstract cubism, offering a layered exploration of the modern Filipino experience in conversation with Arab perspectives.
'This marks a major step forward for TeryMari Gallery, not only as a platform but as a movement,' said Santos, who is also a member of TRIBE. 'We're proud to bring these voices to a broader audience through collaboration and cultural exchange.'
A soft opening is scheduled on July 12, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, featuring a guided tour of the exhibit, live Baybayin and Arabic calligraphy, and a DJ-percussionist performance that fuses traditional Filipino and Arab beats.
The event is open to the public from July 13–31, with free admission. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Thursday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Friday to Saturday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
As part of its advocacy, TRIBE continues to empower Filipino creatives across the UAE by supporting platforms like TeryMari Gallery that bridge cultures and build community.
TRIBE operates under PBC-DNE, a Filipino-led organization recognized by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce that fosters cultural and business partnerships between the UAE and the Philippines.

Arabic Netflix series ‘Catalog' to premiere on July 17
The show follows Youssef, a devoted father portrayed by Mohamed Farrag, as he struggles to raise his daughter alone after the tragic loss of his wife. Netflix has announced that its new Arabic-language series, Catalog, will debut on July 17, 2025. Catalog tells the story of Youssef (Mohamed Farrag), a man who suddenly finds himself responsible for raising his two children after the death of his wife, Amina (Riham Abdel Ghafour). Out of sync with their routines and disconnected from their emotions, Youssef is overwhelmed — until he discovers a series of parenting videos his late wife had recorded before she passed. Each video becomes his guide: a beacon through grief, a roadmap back into his kids' hearts, and a mirror revealing strengths he never knew he had. Set in Egypt and grounded in the everyday complexities of Arab family life, Catalog is a heartwarming drama that blends quiet humor with raw emotion — exploring how families evolve in the face of loss, how men are reshaped by responsibility, how it takes a village to raise a family and how parenting rarely follows a script. Directed by Waleed El Halafawy, produced by Ahmed El Ganainy and written by Ayman Wattar, Catalog features Mohamed Farrag (Youssef), show guest star Riham Abdel Ghafour (Amina), Tara Emad (Howaida), Khaled Kamal (Hanafy), Bayoumi Fouad (George), Samah Anwar (Om Hashem), Sedky Sakhr (Tamer), Donia Sami (Hala), Ali El Beialy (Mansour), Retal Abdelaziz (Karima) and Ahmed Essam Elsayed (Osama). Catalog will be available exclusively on Netflix starting July 17.
