SIKKA ART & DESIGN FESTIVAL <strong>2022</strong><br />

Dr. Saeed Mubarak Kharbash Al-Marri<br />

Chief Executive Officer - Arts & Literature at Dubai Culture & Arts Authority<br />

Dr. Saeed Mubarak Kharbash Al-Marri, be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

one of <strong>the</strong> leaders helped Sikka Art flourish, as<br />

it offers <strong>the</strong> public a unique path to showcase<br />

a series of events related to exhibitions, workshops,<br />

films, and music. He aims to <strong>in</strong>still local art <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

present and <strong>the</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g generation. Sikka is a great<br />

platform as it encourages art <strong>in</strong> many ways. In Dubai<br />

Culture, <strong>the</strong> one aspect <strong>the</strong>y notice and did <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

is talent growth. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to him, talent growth is a<br />

very essential element, as it <strong>in</strong>cludes encourag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

and nourish<strong>in</strong>g talent <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> UAE. This was just a<br />

sneak peek, but <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>itial plan was to make Sikka<br />

<strong>the</strong> biggest platform for talent growth. They also<br />

aim to push <strong>the</strong> festival to a longer period, maybe<br />

across <strong>the</strong> whole year, and not just to end dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

March. Consequently, with diversity comes <strong>in</strong>tegrity.<br />

Therefore <strong>the</strong>y encourage all <strong>the</strong> students <strong>in</strong> UAE to<br />

come forward and be a part of <strong>the</strong> art and design<br />

sector. Everyone will be given equal rewards and<br />

respect.<br />

This tenth edition is vital for <strong>the</strong>m to come<br />

up with a new strategy for Sikka to make<br />

sure it is a susta<strong>in</strong>able platform. Every<br />

year it is operated for ten days, but now <strong>the</strong><br />

new direction is to run <strong>the</strong> event whole yearround.<br />

The ma<strong>in</strong> purpose of <strong>the</strong> platform is<br />

to have a susta<strong>in</strong>able ecosystem that fosters<br />

young and emerg<strong>in</strong>g talents. Focus<strong>in</strong>g on<br />

talent development, <strong>the</strong>y also try to highlight<br />

<strong>the</strong> different aspects of an artist's journey.<br />

Part of <strong>the</strong> ecosystem is to have mentors<br />

from established organizations. It is more<br />

susta<strong>in</strong>able to have an event that makes you<br />

learn ra<strong>the</strong>r than leave you hang<strong>in</strong>g after<br />

some time. They are try<strong>in</strong>g to diversify <strong>the</strong><br />

offer<strong>in</strong>gs. Sikka is an important platform for<br />

opportunities. It will offer <strong>the</strong>m to f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

paths and connect with <strong>the</strong> community locally,<br />

lead<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>in</strong>ternational recognition as well. It<br />

is a gateway to new opportunities.<br />
