Chapter 1: Malja Bahrain
Now if you know me well enough, you know that I'm at Malja most of the time. What is Malja? Malja is a local art space in Bahrain where almost every art can be practised, it officially opened on 30th of January 2015 & it was a roller coaster ride getting the art space ready but the amazing Red bull Bahrain team managed to get it up and running on time. I was privileged to be a part of Malja from the final building stages up to now, It's been a really good experience for me (I'll be saying this a lot in future posts) & expect more stuff on my blog from Malja.
Malja has a main Art gallery space where artists can showcase their masterpieces. There is a multi-purpose dance room which can be used by dancers to master their movement and by other artists to give workshops and teach their art to the participants. Finally Malja also has a QTF (Quarter-tone frequency) Sound Space which can be used by artists to record and/or practice their field of art. The Sound space is filled with almost every equipment required to record and produce music AND what is art without food!? Malja has it's own refuelling station to get snacks and drinks that will keep you going while you're there! Any artist is welcome to show up and practise their art.
