Shubbak

Shubbak (meaning ‘window’ in Arabic) supports and celebrates the diversity of Arab artists' creativity and innovation through its professional, participatory and engagement programmes, national touring and biennial multi-artform festival. Working nationally and internationally, we commission, initiate and develop projects that encourage a wide range of creative approaches in an artist-centred, audience focused process.

Shubbak Festival is Europe's largest biennial festival of contemporary Arab cultures, bringing new and unexpected voices alongside established artists to London every two years.
