The four-day exhibition of the pre-Ramadan pop-up show in Riyadh’s Lakum Artspace this week consists of curated pop-up shops that feature brands from local and regional designers. Art, music, fashion, and coffee are among the bonuses of attending the show.
The shops boast workshops for visitors interested in flower arranging, along with live art and fashion sketching. There are drinks from the studio’s own coffee shop, Malmoum Cafe, for refreshments.
Art curator Dana Qabbani says that the pop-up show has been created to celebrate local brands and give them a platform to share their work.
One of the featured brands is Tamashee, a well-known high-end Arabian Gulf footwear brand based in Dubai that has expanded to the Kingdom.
Muneera Al-Tamimi, co-founder of Tamashee, said that the brand had collaborated with Qabbani in the past.
Saad Ahmed, who is an assistant at the gallery, said that he enjoyed Tamashee’s products.
Formally known as Alaan Artspace, Qabbani says that Lakum Artspace is looking back with its latest venture.
Qabbani added that the studio wanted the community to shop for clothing and accessories before the beginning of the holy month.
