In 2010, the Global Art Forum returns as the Middle East’s leading platform for cultural debate and discussion, focusing on key issues that bring together the arts scenes of the region with the rest of the world.
Under the banner ‘Crucial Moments’, the 2010 Forum explores evolving aspects of contemporary culture including education, mapping modernism, art writing, and patronage. Bringing experts from the art world together with those from the region, speakers will discuss both practical outcomes as well as more theoretical concerns.
