We are happy to announce that ZUMEFF will take part in this year’s Sikka Art & Design Festival. During this year’s festival a wide range of winning films from ZUMEFF 2022 will be shown.

The Sikka Art & Design Festival a unique celebration of visual and performing arts and films, annually held in Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in March under the umbrella of Dubai Art Season. The 2023 edition of the festival, which marks the Festival’s 11th anniversary, is being held under the theme ‘Celebrating Art, Celebrating Growth’ and under its new umbrella, the Sikka Art and Design Platform, which seeks to support the professional growth journey of emerging creative talent.

The Festival features a new visual identity inspired by a sidr tree at the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. This year’s Sikka Art & Design Festival exemplifies the growing vibrance of Dubai’s artistic scene that has emerged a force to reckon with on the global cultural map.

As part of its new direction, the Sikka Art and Design Festival aims to foster an integrated ecosystem that supports emerging creatives and provides a platform for them to embark on their journey to become professional artists. The artworks featured this year were chosen to create a compelling narrative about the Festival’s journey over the past decade.
