Our First Video!


Hello Everyone! 

Our first video is finally uploaded! 
This was taken during our group walk from Manama Souq to Adliya... Our aim was to observe life... and people... Each one with his/her camera took snapshots for what caught their interest... 

The video is a summary of an almost 3-hours walk, our findings will be reflected through our work and in the final publication... 

Please feel free to share the video with your contacts... 



Many thanks to Leon. D for making this video.

Enjoy! 

Salaam, 
The Ulafaa Team

Market 338 in a Nutshell!

Market 338 came to an end.... ! 

It was such a great experience to introduce ourselves to the public in market 338 in Adliya... We have learnt a lot and we came to know many people who share our thoughts and want be part of our family... 

Our zone forced people to smile (the least) and to make a theme song (the most)!

People have shared their thoughts about life with us...Remembered great memories of old days... Or simply spread some love with our "free hugs" and "hi-5" signs!



We would like to take this opportunity to thank Alriwaq Art Space for giving us a space to express and interact with people... Market 338 was a great success and we were glad to be a modest part of it... Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who supported us.. It was great to see all of you.... 

Salaam, 
Ulafaa Team
