Creating a platform for community engagement with the arts
We reminded ourselves of the issues that concern residents of UAE and debated the role of arts in engaging effectively with the community with diverse artists, critics, and the casual arts onlooker among other stakeholders.
There were three main threads to this session; creative production and development of ‘creatives’, developing an arts audience to cultivate a sustainable arts culture in the UAE and using art as a medium to communicate issues of sustainability which engage the community and spread awareness to a wider audience.
The common thread was the activation of public spaces for the purpose of art.
Session recap:
How can we shape the Artscape in UAE so that it better engages with the community?
