For the longest time, I’ve dreamed of building a community of artists, a place we call home. A place where we get to create, a safe space to share ideas, brainstorm, and be surrounded by hearts that wish nothing but to support and create with one another.
By now, you may know me and “writing,” and of course, I had to write about this story too. I wrote something years ago, saying I wanted to build a collective, an artists’ studio. I graduated and held onto that dream so close to my heart, looking for someone who might share the same dream and be equally passionate and motivated to combine our dreams and make them intertwine.
Well, that was until I met my partner, not just in studio untitled but in so many things, Shamsa
@sh_o . Just like her name, she was the light that lit up that dream. Together, we searched and searched, visiting so many spaces, but nothing felt right. That was until 201 came along. We entered the space, I don’t know if it was the magic of the shadows dancing in the space, the terrazzo tiles, or the early 2000 telecom, but we looked at each other and knew this was the start of everything. We knew something beautiful was about to happen, we saw the potential, we believed.
Studio Untitled came to life in June 2023, in a small apartment in the heart of Abu Dhabi, our beloved apartment 201.
It all started with two...
It came to life with three...
It flourished with six...
It’s taking its first step with eight...
It’s a bittersweet moment leaving the place that held all our soft whispers and dreams of the future, that welcomed us with dancing shadows and orange hues, but we’re ready to share this dream with people who equally believe in it. So it’s time to leave 201, but we’re taking a glimpse of it with us too.
Thank you, dear reader, for believing in studio untitled. Thank you for giving us a chance, and thank you for being our community.
We’re excited to share our new home with you, to share our journey with you. studio untitled will open its doors to every bit of you soon.
