Bottega in Dubai.
Standing as the label’s latest outreach program, Bottega Veneta recently debuted ‘The Square Dubai’ – a gathering place inspired by the Arabic term ‘majlis,’ symbolising gathering and togetherness.
Set over the course of three evenings, from April 12th through 14th, the revered Italian label hosted a series of cultural exchanges in a custom square space designed by Lebanese architect Carl Gerges which featured a film screening, musical performances, storytelling, poetry and cuisine.
Set in the label’s typical vibrant green hue, the space saw the likes of Carl Gerges (Lebanese architect and musician), Shaima Al Tamimi (Yemeni East-African visual story-teller), Asma Al Badawi (Sudanese-British spoken-word poet), ‘Mustafa the Poet’ (Canadian poet and songwriter), and Samer Doumet (Lebanese singer, songwriter and music editor) take to the stage.
‘The Square’ will be hosted next in Tokyo, San Francisco, Shanghai and Sao Paulo.
