Speaking during a breakout\nsession, \u201cCurating Communities: Influencing Society Through Art\u201d at the Arts\nand Culture Hub, was Dubai-based artist and muralist, <strong>Dina Saadi.<\/strong> She\nwas joined by artist, <strong>Jalal Luqman<\/strong>, who moderated the session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-day GWFD 2020, held at the Madinat\nJumeirah in Dubai, UAE, under the patronage of <strong>His Highness Sheikh Mohammed\nbin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab\nEmirates, and Ruler of Dubai, concluded today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, <strong>Saadi<\/strong> underscored the\nimportance of public art in pushing boundaries across the Arab region, bringing\nvibrancy and tackling global and social challenges. <strong>Saadi\u2019s<\/strong> work is\nfeatured in cities including New York City, San Francisco and Rotterdam, as\nwell as Khor Fakkan, which is home to her longest mural (40 meters) in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing\nsupport for female artists and muralists, <strong>Dina Saadi<\/strong> said: \u201cI am very\npleased to be attending and speaking at the GWFD 2020. I see art as a form of\nexpression that adds vibrancy and beauty to cities. Studies have proven that\npeople feel a sense of belonging when they witness street art as they picture\ntheir city through beautifully painted murals. Globally, street art is a male-dominated\nfield and I hope to see governments and entities offer female street artists a\nspecial platform through offering walls and public spaces, simplifying permit\nprocesses, sponsoring events and organising festivals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session also highlighted challenges such as\nreluctance within communities to step into a museum and explore art spaces,\nstressing the vital need to break this barrier and educate the society about\npublic art. Saadi and Luqman also touched upon the reach of murals and public\nart, and how they serve as inspiration to the public, representing values and the\nstories of those cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 is organised by\nDubai Women Establishment, which is led by <strong>Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint\nMohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council\nand wife of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister\nand Minister of Presidential Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on its theme, <strong><em>\u2018The Power of Influence\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 was focused on discussing how effective policies and partnerships in four key areas \u2013 <strong>Government<\/strong>, <strong>Economy, Society, and the Future<\/strong> \u2013 can further women\u2019s positive impact for a better future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dina Saadi underscores the importance of public art in pushing boundaries in the Arab region, bringing vibrancy and tackling global and social challenges.
