Each residency will consist of at least one festival performance, workshops for Emirati youth and emerging artists, and roundtable discussions with local UAE cultural institutions. American artists and performers will be confirmed based on the local partners’ priority genres or areas of interest, festival dates, prior experience with cultural residencies or similar programs, and artist capacity to conduct educational outreach activities.
