+ 971: 50 Emirati Creatives Shaping the UAE

The first book of its kind to profile the Emirati creative scene, introducing fifty individuals working across architecture, culinary arts, design, film, performing and visual arts, music, and writing in the United Arab Emirates. Since its founding in 1971, the United Arab Emirates has drawn upon values deeply rooted in generations of cultural history, while also fostering a purposeful evolution toward a bright and impressive future. Drawing inspiration from these efforts, and embodying its best hopes, is a cultural sector that is a thriving industry in its own right.
