The Studio Narrative by Mohamed Abla; A One-of-a-Kind Collab With Art Empowers and Scoop Empire!

Art Empowers is a platform that aims to, as the name suggests, empower artists and art enthusiasts, hosting events that not only highlight local talent, but also advocate for a cause. On the 2nd of February 2021, Mohamed Abla opened his personal art studio to Art Empowers for the very first time. The mission and vision? To find ways to collaborate between art and digital media, and how they can be merged to move forward.

Mohamed Abla’s exclusive show showcased rare and unseen work from his previous collections. Not only that, but it also included the work of 20 aspiring artists who have been mentored by Abla during The Studio Masterclass. The exhibit also included a panel discussion about “Art & New Age Media”, a discussion on the different perspectives of a world-leading artist like Abla.

Attending the discussion was art entrepreneur and co-founder of Art Empowers, Shaymaa Hesham, and Sabrina Khalil, co-founder and Chief of Content at Scoop Empire. They discussed how modern age media is positively shaping the art scene in Egypt, where it can lead us, and how digital media can put us on the map.
