A Decade of Shubbak: History of the Festival
During the first event of our Shubbak Festival x afikra Roundtable Series we talked to Eckhard Thiemann (Shubbak CEO & Festival Artistic Director), Taghrid Choucair Vizoso (Senior Programmer & Festival Producer) & Riwa Saab (member of the Young Shubbak group) about the history of the festival taking place again this year on the 20th of June, 2021.
About the Shubbak Festival:
The Shubbak Festival is the UK's largest biennial festival of contemporary Arab culture, bringing new and unexpected voices alongside established artists to London every two years. The festival returns this summer with an ambitious program that connects audiences and communities with the best of contemporary Arab visual arts, film, music, theatre, dance, literature, and debate.
