Our Stories: Arabic Arts Alive

Music, deeply rooted in Arabic traditions, unites people across regions and occasions—from social gatherings to entertainment or religious festivals — while also evolving to highlight social and political issues. Folkloric dance, including dance forms like dabke, (group or line dance) and baladi dance (solo or duo dance) celebrates heritage and invites participation, reinforcing community bonds. 

Together, these art forms serve not only as entertainment but as powerful tools for storytelling to share cultural heritage, promote mental strength, and social cohesion.  

The online exhibition shares unique and diverse stories from participants in the Arabic Arts Alive 2025 project, illustrating how Arabic music and dance have influenced their lives.
