I’m committed to a long-term project, but I’m always interested in learning and seeing what others are doing to draw inspiration for my work and research (also because it’s usually interesting in itself). I’m not looking for a career advancement as much as I am for community

I’d like to become a member because I think these organizations are a way of remaining in creative and likeminded yet diverse loops in a place that can often feel rigid and distracting. I’d use my membership to explore. I don’t have a specific agenda beyond inspiration and exposure. I believe what I bring is what is growing to be a lifetime of research concentrated on the UAE, art, and philosophy. I also am working on what I hope will be a space to facilitate the creative community, so being within it would help me understand it better to accommodate.

I just finished my masters in arts and cultural management, academic research is one of my interests and I spend my time researching or applying for conferences. On the other end I am working on developing some farmland we have into a creative space focused on nature and health.
