Rubu Qarn launches its second literature and arts season

The season encompasses various forms of literary and artistic expression, affirming its role in supporting and developing the artistic and creative capabilities of future generations.

The season aims to provide inspiring platforms and influential spaces where its members can express their talents and skills in theatre, performing arts, music, cinema, visual arts, and literature. It also aims to enhance direct communication with community members by introducing them to the most prominent services offered by Rubu' Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators for future generations, allowing them to discover the stories of their creativity, which is brimming with passion and ambition.

Diverse array of activities

The season is distinguished by its diversity and integrated activities, including a visual arts exhibition titled "Worlds of Arts Between Crafts" and Imagination," which embodies a dialogue between generations, across three main themes: From Raw to Imagination, which incorporates the innovations of participants using various materials, transforming material into a language of expression; Memory and Identity, which draws inspiration from Emirati heritage, from old houses to maritime icons and leading figures, to embody the relationship between the present and cultural roots; and the third theme, Worlds Beyond Reality, represents the ability of art and technology to transform imagination into visual experiences brimming with meaning and creativity.

The photo exhibition features participants' creations from the "Parallel World Lens" and "AI Imagination" programmes, in which they transformed written stories into digital images and designed new book covers, making the artwork a window into their imagination and their ability to transform ideas into an innovative visual language.

The season also includes poetry and literature, including poems, dramatic scenes, theatrical performances, and a popular proverb challenge. Other accompanying segments include storytelling, a book tour, the Reader of the Century platform, and the Story in a Bottle project.

The season also includes musical events to showcase The Rubu' Qarn Music Centre's members, showcasing their creativity in solo and group performances of famous Arab and international musical pieces. The season also highlights the talents of Rubu' Qarn Centre members in a theatrical production titled "The Suitcase."

The season also showcases a selection of distinguished films, a result of the year-round cinematic arts programs. It offers an excellent opportunity to learn about the various skills members have developed in writing, acting, filming, editing, as well as directing, animation, lighting, and sound engineering.
