Gathering for
creativity, learning
and collaboration

We seek to enable a feeling of belonging: being a part of something bigger than the sum of its parts. In this case, the shared purpose of this community is to drive the future of New Crafts in Qatar.

Everyone wants to be part of an ecosystem where they can learn from one another and form partnerships, as well as feel a sense of solidarity. We seek to bring together those who have a shared desire to become pioneers in their industries and aim to flourish their businesses in a collaborative way.

 

Growing a Community

Rooted in the pillars of contemporary heritage, culinary arts and digital experiences, Al Najadah will become a fruitful ecosystem in which individuals and enterprises can exchange know-how and talent, learn from one another, and contribute to the local and global creative industries together.

Being alive and being more creative is the most important motivation for us, it is deadly when artists don’t receive opportunities.
