Sweden and the Arab World

Sweden as a hub for Arabic Music

Overview

The “Sweden as a creative hub for Arabic Music” project was implemented from July 2016 to January 2017 as a series of sub-projects in the form of residencies, collaborations, performances, workshops and artist talks in Sweden and Lebanon, with artists from Sweden, Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine and Tunisia. The core philosophy of the project is about inhabiting genres where Arabic music is not usually found in Sweden; thus achieving a double edged outcome by enriching particular music scenes in Sweden such as electronic music, folk and rock with new inspirations and influences from the Arab world, whilst giving outstanding musicians from the Arab world the opportunity to experience more advanced tools and practices in such genres within Sweden.
