Rubu Qarn Foundation Unveils Second Season Of Literature And Arts With Diverse Activities

The Rubu' Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators has initiated its second season of Literature and Arts, running until 3rd November 2025. This season is designed to offer platforms where members can showcase their talents in theatre, performing arts, music, cinema, visual arts, and literature. The initiative is marked by its diverse activities that aim to inspire creativity.

A key feature of the season is the visual arts exhibition titled "Worlds of Arts Between Crafts and Imagination." This exhibition fosters a dialogue between generations through three themes. "From Raw to Imagination" allows participants to use various materials creatively. "Memory and Identity" draws from Emirati heritage, linking cultural roots with the present. Lastly, "Worlds Beyond Reality" explores how art and technology can turn imagination into meaningful visual experiences.

The photo exhibition showcases works from the "Parallel World Lens" and "AI Imagination" programmes. Participants have transformed written stories into digital images and designed new book covers. These creations serve as a testament to their imaginative capabilities and their skill in converting ideas into a unique visual language.

Literature and Performing Arts

The season also features poetry and literature segments, including poems, dramatic scenes, theatrical performances, and a popular proverb challenge. Additional activities include storytelling sessions, a book tour, the Reader of the Century platform, and the Story in a Bottle project. These events aim to engage audiences with diverse literary expressions.

Musical Showcases

Musical events are an integral part of the season, highlighting The Rubu' Qarn Music Centre's members. They will perform both solo and group renditions of renowned Arab and international musical pieces. Additionally, a theatrical production titled "The Suitcase" will display the acting talents of Rubu' Qarn Centre members.

Cinematic Arts Programs

The season also presents a selection of distinguished films produced through year-round cinematic arts programs. These films provide insight into the skills members have honed in writing, acting, filming, editing, directing, animation, lighting, and sound engineering.
