Ten years after the Arab Spring Shubbak, London’s biennial festival of contemporary Arab culture, returns with an ambitious programme reflecting on people, connections and ideas in a fundamentally unsettled world.
The sixth edition of the Shubbak Festival: A Window on Contemporary Arab Culture runs from 20th June – 17th July, 2021. Born out of the rupture across Arab countries ten years ago, Shubbak 2021 returns with an ambitious programme that connects audiences and communities with the best of contemporary Arab visual arts, film, music, theatre, dance, literature and debate.
