A session held by Afrah Babkair focusing on Bedouin heritage. Mixing coffee, fine art and discussion to share knowledge and experiences.

As part of the migrating Bedouin heritage, an Al-Majlees is a reception room used by guests in traditional Arab households. It is a public area where people congregate to talk about local issues, exchange information and build social ties. Discussions regarding social and cultural issues have taken place regarding this space as a result of the growth of collaborative and participatory approaches.

Each session will typically last around 60 minutes with a 30-minute break to separate the two elements, a total of 90 minutes. This cycle could be repeated for a total of three sessions.
