Art: The Visual Artist

luucid Podcast

"When it comes down to the future or contemporary art in Kuwait, I think it's bubbling. I think it's morphing. I think it's currently being challenged by a lot of artists, and it gives me great pleasure to see that because it trains the human eye to look at beauty in a different way."
Our guide for today on this journey of communal actualization is Samaa Al Refai research-based visual artist and historian striving to shorten the distance between the public and art.
I want to set the stage for this interview by shining the spotlight on three main points of focus for our dialogue.
- About Samaa and her unique human journey.
- Introduce you to Samaa's art form of choice, and I want to dive a little deeper into what it means to be an artist, what it takes to be an artist, and how hard it is to be an artist.
-Provide you the listener with some answers to the question. What is art good for?
