Bottega Veneta has launched its take on Ramadan celebrations through a 3-day majlis at their very own ‘The Square’ in Dubai, a space that was conceptualised by Lebanese architect and musician Carl Gerges. Over the course of three evenings, the Italian Fashion House invited a small handpicked selection of guests from the local art, music and fashion scenes to attend a series of cultural exchanges exploring feelings of community and togetherness, feelings that are embraced during Ramadan.
Through a film screening, musical performances, storytelling, poetry and cuisine from a number of local talents, Bottega Veneta celebrated the work of Middle Eastern creatives. Contributors included Carl Gerges himself, Shaima Al Tamimi (Yemeni East-African visual story-teller), Asma Al Badawi (Sudanese-British spoken-word poet), Mustafa the Poet (Canadian poet and songwriter), Samer Doumet (Lebanese singer, songwriter and music editor).
After its debut in Dubai, Bottega is taking ‘The Square’ concept to cities around the globe, including Tokyo, San Francisco, Shanghai and Sao Paulo, to celebrate local creative communities.
