Shubbak Festival collaborates with the British Council to invite some of the most exciting emerging artists from the scene to make their mark in London's urban spaces.
About
Street Art is a fast growing movement in the Gulf.
Engaging with the public realm and frequently using humour, irony and references from popular culture, the works range from subtle interventions to large-scale murals. Styles vary from comic book-style cartoons, to realism and abstraction.
Artists include Riyadh-based Shaweesh and Talal Al Zeid and Fathima Mohiuddin. The artists visit and respond to a number of sites across the capital, screating fleeting and temporary interventions. The process will be filmed and a short film will be premiered at The Mix – Shubbak Music Finale on 25 July.
Precise timings and locations of the artists’ actions will be posted on www.shubbak.co.uk/breaking-cover-gulf-street-art/ during the festival.
