Shubbak is the UK's largest biennial festival of contemporary Arab culture.  Shubbak connects London audiences and communities with the best of contemporary Arab culture through ambitious festival programmes of premieres and commissions of visual arts, film, music, theatre, dance, literature and debate every two years. We work with arts institutions in London and internationally. Founded in 2011 by the Mayor of London, Shubbak is now an independent UK charity.
