Projects
As part of his drive to foster creativity in the next generation, Owais Husain organizes creative workshops and collaborative projects with students of all age levels. He is currently leading a series of workshops in Dubai and abroad encouraging students to think about identity and the role of photography, painting, and film-making. The workshops are designed to allow students to create a collaborative work with the artist based on this theme. Husain inspires the students to give a personal context to their work, tell their own stories and illustrate their own identity through the creative process.
