Alaa is a London-based visual artist, designer and creative facilitator. Alaa has worked with various creative and educational organisations as a facilitator delivering workshops to children and adults. Throughout her various roles, her work always seeks to emphasise the value of using creativity as a pedagogical process to address and explore larger issues such as identity, faith and race and the intersections between them.
At Art Represent, we have realised over the years that when audiences actively engage with our artists and artworks, there is a tangible shift in their understanding of that artist and their community. From shifting perceptions away from stereotypes to bringing awareness of a particular region, the social impact of art is evident and powerful.
