An out-of-the-box visual treat Jordanian national and student of American University of Sharjah (AUS), Amro Al Bakri's multi-media installation at City Walk is a curious one. With a one-minute stop motion video installation of art, Bakri has managed to squeeze in the concept of how people's bedrooms look, at different stages of their life. From infancy to childhood and teenage years, and eventually into old age, Bakri's observation of the phases is interesting because his parting advice to the viewer is to actually look outside the room or the box. "We spend out entire lives on the inside. The installation advises people to look, or live their lives on the outside as well," said Bakri. Published on: Page:

Gulf Newsweek to hit stands A media company in Dubai plans to launch a regional version of Newsweek magazine in English and Arabic this year. Traditional publishing in the Gulf has faced challenges with the digital revolution, as it has in other countries, said Mohammad Ayish, head of American University of Sharjah's mass communications department. I think the advent of a magazine like Newsweek in Arabic is very good because it would enrich Arabic content online," he said. Google has said that 3 per cent of online content is in Arabic, despite the high number of people who speak the language. I have been in the television industry for 15 years now and I've always heard about the print industry dying, but I've never seen it dead," he said.
