For the first episode of our second season, we wanted to spend some time getting to know each other! After a really long adjusting period throughout season one, we spend this episode reflecting on what we've learned and how it's changed us. We also talk about the changes we've made going forward and what you can expect, as well as how you can get involved!

Have you been drawn to the classics lately? In our final episode of the season, we are joined by the incredibly talented music professor, Dr. Albert, and we not only discuss how his life has been shaped by music but also how the art form has changed throughout time. All of our identities and cultures have been shaped by the music we're surrounded by, and Dr. Albert's insight on this topic has shed some light on just how important music is as a tool for the greater good. Tune in for a discussion on navigating a career in music, embracing our traditions, and how we can play around with our cultural canon to create new, exciting works of art!

Join us on a captivating journey through the cultural renaissance in the Middle East as we explore the question: Is the region experiencing a second Nahda, and what role do the arts play in this new era? In our inaugural episode, we are joined by Reem Al Ghaith, a Visual Artist, Cultural Researcher, and Creative Director whose work delves deep into the UAE's ever-changing cultural landscape. As an alumna of the American University of Sharjah, Reem brings a unique perspective to the discussion. From her insights into the historical Nahda movement to her reflections on the contemporary art scene in the Middle East, Reem offers thought-provoking perspectives on the intersection of tradition, modernity, and artistic expression. Tune in as we sip coffee at this week’s feature, Oath, and delve deep into what it means to be a designer, the renaissance Arab countries are experiencing, how to continue learning post-grad, and some amazing advice for aspiring CAAD students.
Special thank you to the College of Media Communications for their help in producing this episode.
