What
is a highly progressive society without art or culture? It is like a beautiful body
devoid of a soul. Well Dubai has risen up to challenges of all sorts in the
past. So how can it be far behind where art is concerned?
Street
art and Graffiti are popular forms of creative expression especially in Europe.
It is a powerful medium for communicating a social message effectively; a fun
and more liberating way to be creative.
Though
Dubai has been conjuring up arty flavors through art exhibitions and the sophisticated
art galleries, street art is unheard of in this part of the world. Feel like
showcasing your talent on the street? Voila !!! You can land you straight in
prison.
The
organizers of the Al-Quoz project however have found a unique way around this
problem. They have providing 50 enthusiastic and talented artists (some of them
of international renown), temporary installations to spill out their creative
energies.
An
ensemble of 22 team members from DAF (Dubai Art Fans) spearheaded by the
talented Mona Al-Assad, also gather to display their eclectic mixture of talent
and create something novel.
So on 24th of January when the weather
has the sweet tingle of winter, Street Night Art comes alive and welcomes all
of Dubai to an extravagant celebration of color and performing art. This
project endeavors to inject live into the otherwise creatively challenged
Al-Quoz industrial area.
As
a participating artist and DAF(Dubai Art Fans ) member I am enthused not
because I am an artist but also because the project is for an excellent humane
cause. The money raised from the art works produced will be diverted to the laborers
working in this area. The arty night will be spiced up by performing art shows and
even installation for enthusiastic audiences to explore their creative side.
So
Come Join Us In The Fun!
