Sahra Salon aims to create a space where artists of varied disciplines can test the work they are developing. The event strives to harbour an intimate space of creativity and indulgence where sharing works and opening up a dialogue between the audience and the artists is at the core.
The word Sahra is an Arabic word meaning evening gathering. A family Sahra is often a warm intimate space where friends and family feast and share stories and anecdotes. It is special and memorable but can also leave way for tensions to run high. In this, it as human as anything can be.
Sahra Salon aims to bring this energy, in all it’s human force, to an arts space, bridging the gap between artists as exhibitors and audience as punters. In this space, artists aren’t just exhibiting but sharing and engaging directly with their audience.
Every Sahra Salon includes a showing and a group discussion. Each iteration of our salon will adapt to the venue it is in but rest assured there will always be good conversation and good food.
