Digital Tools Workshop Beirut 2018
This summer, three SAFIR Artists (Wissam Al Shaabi, Akil Ahmad and Yamen Youssef) were out of seven artists participating in a four-day digital workshop that took place at Beirut’s Ashkal Alwan. The workshop was organised by Ein el-Fan in collaboration with SAFIR.
In line with one of the three skill sets that SAFIR works to develop in its artists Outreach, the main purpose of the digital workshop was to develop artists’ ability to communicate virtually by growing their technical skills and online presence in order to help them expand their international reach.
