The time has come to close this chapter of Edge of Arabia and we plan to do it with style. Please join us for the Final Party at the Brunei Gallery this Saturday 13 December from 10.30-5. Don’t miss out on the last chance to see the exhibition, an infamous event for Saudi Arabian cultural history. There will be snacks, drinks, team members and EoA merchandise for your last minute Christmas buys…
See you there…
I went to Putney High School today, my old 6th form, to give a talk to the girls about the exhibition and encourage them to visit before EoA packs up and re-locates. As always, I enjoyed sharing my knowledge and love for the project and hopefully inspiring some of the girls to use the artists and artwork in their own projects.
I was pleased to know that most of the girls had all come across the exhibition, on the underground, in the posters around their school. When I asked them what they knew of or what comes to mind if one says Saudi, I got the typical responses, ‘camels’, ‘desert’, ‘oil’, ’scarved women’… It was incredibly satisfying to show them a side to Saudi Arabia (and the Middle East) that many of them would never have come across if it wasn’t for this exhibition.

The time you have all been waiting for has FINALLY arrived. The Edge of Arabia Shop is now up and running.
If its a wonderful set of postcards, an EoA book or if you really want to splash out for Christmas on a Limited Edition Signed artists print.. We have it all. The best gifts, greeting cards, moleskin notepads, prayer beads, T-shirts, resource packs, books you’re likely to find anywhere. I’m not exaggerating, but please, take a look for yourself..
