Antonia Carver commented, “Tarabot is a radical space that pioneers exciting new research and architectural materials and also actively engages the community in thinking-in-public about a shared sustainable future. It illustrates in such a dynamic way Art Jameel’s long-term approach to foregrounding the role of the arts in addressing the climate crisis – from international collaborations such as the World Weather Network, to major grants programmes that fund artists to produce thematic work and institutions to decarbonise, such as the current regional Anhar: Culture and Climate Platform, in collaboration with the British Council, and UAE-based Research and Practice Platform, with Dubai Culture, through to our role convening a regional network of arts leaders and ecologists, with whom we are collectively publishing a
bilingual sustainability charters and toolkits for the Middle East.”

Hello Radical People,
This is the introduction to what I hope will be a learning experience for us all. Our motto when we first started Radical was "Learn Something New Everyday." - since 2017 we've been doing just that. Radical Contemporary is a platform that believes in the power of conversation and the power of words in formulating our soul. This is a space to help us ask the right questions, grow together as a community and understand how it is the people we look up to the most - our mentors, moguls, and role models - have managed to cultivate that elusive thing we call success.
Welcome to the creative process.
Let's get started,
Nour Hassan

The Global Co-commission project, spearheaded by Alserkal Advisory, in collaboration with the Global Cultural Districts Network, unites three cultural districts across three continents: Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, Kingston Creative in Kingston, Jamaica, and Victoria Yards in Johannesburg, South Africa, in a collective response to the global climate crisis.. Working with artists in each of the participating districts, the Global Co-commission intends to inspire new narratives of possibility, ultimately creating public art that is both responsible and impactful.
The intent of the co-commission project is to harness the power of networked cultural districts to respond collectively to urgent global subjects, and invite participants to renew their current perspectives and learnings. This inaugural cycle (2022-23), curated by Tairone Bastien, asks artists from the participating districts to respond to the central theme of climate change, and more specifically A Feral Commons, urging artists in these locations can rise to new challenges and rethink modes of working, create new models of the commons and new ways of living.
