Calling all #Londoners: we are looking for an empty gallery/artist studio-type space for the whole of next week (13 - 18 May) to start working on an exciting new book project. We need a space to unpack and display material on a large wall and tables

Any ideas?

#EOAExhibitions | Since we’re not attending @artdubai, we thought we’d share an image of our 2011 Terminal exhib, where we took over an abandoned space in @DIFC. It was a highly conceptual & experiential exhibition addressing the concept of travel, bureaucracy, privacy & identity

On this gloomy day in London, we think back to our second ever expedition, all the way back in 2008. Eight young artists from Lebanon, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE won a regional art competition to travel to the UK in search of a unique portrait of British life #JourneytotheUK2008

Memories of our first ever student expedition - #JourneytotheGulf2007 when a group of students from east London embarked upon a creative journey to Oman + the UAE. They produced an artistic record of their journey from the cityscapes of Dubai to the Bedu camps of the Wahiba Sands
