#UNBOUND غير مقيد IS BORN
Today marks the launch of #UNBOUND غير مقيد, an interactive digital project I have been building with artist Rachel Gadsden, filmmaker Abigail Norris and The SPACE which asks diverse communities in the Middle East, UK and beyond to communicate shared senses of cultural and personal identity through creative practice. The heart of #UNBOUND is simple: Draw an image of who you are, and share it with with your name, location, and a photo of you being creative. All submissions will be featured on our global site, displayed for other communities around the world. Here is an example of work we've received so far, created by Zahra Al-Daman, a blind graduate student and sculptor at Riyadh University in Saudi Arabia.
And now for our humble ask. Because we are looking for a diverse body of submissions from people of all kinds of different backgrounds, like Zahra, we need you to help us get started. Please take a moment today to sketch out a portrait -- and ask your students, family and friends to do the same. Submit work online or with the hashtag #UNBOUND so we can feature it. We'll see you there... and thank you, from the bottoms of our hearts, in advance! PS) For Middle Eastern friends in the know, here is an Arabic translation. UNBOUND " بلا قيود" هو مشروع رقمي تفاعلي يشجع و يطلب من المجتمعات المتنوعة في الشرق الأوسط والمملكة المتحدة وغيرها من البقاع التفاعل والتواصل والتعبير عن الهوية من خلال الابداع الفني المشترك. لتنضم وتشاركنا ما عليك سوى المشاركة برسم تعبيري توضح فيه " من انت" مرفقا باسمك ، ومكان تواجدك، وصورة لك كمبدع ومن ثم ارساله الينا الى من خلالالرابط
