SUMMARY:Localized Futures: Cities & Communities
DESCRIPTION:421’s season of talks and panel discussions developed in collaboration with afikra\, Localized Futures\, explores the future of key cultural and civic sectors through a regional lens – challenging the dominant global narrative by looking at the complexities\, innovations\, and solutions inherent to the MENA region. Across four sessions on Collective Heritage\, Cities & Communities\, Education\, and The Arts\, the series brings together institutional leaders\, policy shapers\, and cultural pioneers to spotlight the people actively building these futures today. \nThis session investigates the rapid evolution of cities and communities in the region\, focusing on how design\, infrastructure\, and grassroots initiatives intersect to create resilient\, vibrant\, and culturally rich urban environments. The panelists (who come from urban planning\, cultural policy\, and social entrepreneurship) will explore some key questions: What makes a city truly livable? How do cultural hubs and public spaces foster genuine community? What might future of urban environments look like? \nThe panel: \nKhulood Al Atiyat deputy GM\, MIZA Abu Dhabi\nAlamira Reem Al Hashimi GM\, Madar39\nAdina Hempel director of ZU’s Zayed Institute for Architecture\, Heritage\, and Arts \nModerator: Pradeep Sharma director of the Arts\, Culture and Heritage program at the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation \nThe panel discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and refreshments. \n

SUMMARY:Localized Futures: The Arts
DESCRIPTION:421’s season of talks and panel discussions developed in collaboration with afikra\, Localized Futures\, explores the future of key cultural and civic sectors through a regional lens – challenging the dominant global narrative by looking at the complexities\, innovations\, and solutions inherent to the MENA region. Across four sessions on Collective Heritage\, Cities & Communities\, Education\, and The Arts\, the series brings together institutional leaders\, policy shapers\, and cultural pioneers to spotlight the people actively building these futures today. \nFor this session on The Arts\, we’re told the speakers will share their perspectives on arts patronage\, the role of independent platforms\, and the responsibility cultural institutions carry in making space for both established and emerging voices. It looks a good panel for that – Faisal Al Hassan\, director of 421 Arts Campus; Stephanie Rosenthal\, director of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project; Vilma Jurkute\, founding Director of Alserkal and now an independent advisor connecting culture\, urbanism & community; and Shaikha Nawar Al Qassimi\, Vice President of Sharjah Art Foundation. The moderator is Mikey Muhanna\, founder and Executive Director of afikra. \nThe panel discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and refreshments. \n
