Like “Disruption”, “Play” and “The New Next” before it, this year’s theme “Tools” will explore an aspect of the creative process and tap into how cultural and creative industries continue to innovate and steer the future of the creative economy – highlighting the tools at their disposal.
From the first stone hammer to modern-day technology, tools enable our creativity to shape our world. From hand and head tools to digital and physical tools, and abstract and real toolsets, Tanween 2021 explores the role Tools have in our creative process and industries and crafting our creativity for the future.
Date: October 27, 2021 – November 13, 2021
“Work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” - George Herbert, poet.
Tanween Moment
Join us for Ithra’s unique Tanween 2021 moments. We will use drones that present interactive experiences between audiences and the drones; to create pictures and shapes in the sky through words written in light, and views and texts that can be moved around by controlling drones around Ithra.
