Create and Inspire Competition Winners Exhibition
Edge of Arabia Gallery, London
Create & Inspire 2013 was a regional competition organised by the Crossway Foundation, Qatar Museums and the British Council to find the most talented young artists, photographers and film-makers living in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, as part of the Qatar-Uk 2013 Year of Culture.
Ten winners were chosen to undertake an exciting and educational trip to the UK, where they had the opportunity to work with top creatives in London and Yorkshire.
The end result of the winners’ time in the UK was an exhibition titled ‘Bye Bye Landan’ held at the Edge of Arabia Gallery in London. The event was an evening of art, poetry, music, film and food, and was a chance for the 10 winners to share their experiences in front of an audience of over 100 people.
The Crossway Foundation was founded in London by a group of artists who believe in the power of journeys to inspire better understanding and collaboration across borders, and connect young people across geographical, generational, racial, religious, economic or political borders.
