“(A) triumphant celebration of Arab contemporary culture”

The Majalla

شُبّاك

حوارٌ أجراه ملحق هامش الثقافي الصادر عن مجموعة الجمهورية الإعلامية في عدده الأول مع إيكارد تيمان المدير الفني لمهرجان شبّاك المعني بالثقافة العربية حول الرؤية التي تنظم عمل المهرجان والدور الذي يرى نفسه فيه في مشهد الآداب والفنون العربية في مدينة لندن

"ما يعنينا ليس ادعاء تمثيل الثقافة العربية المعاصرة، بل تقديم أعمال تتحدى التوقعات وما هو متوافق عليه لأخذ النقاشات حول هذه القضايا مثل التمثيل وغيره إلى مكانٍ أبعد"
