Along with the rest of the country, I was already in a hopeful mood with Hope Probe’s success as I sat down one weekend to scroll through the social media timelines of artists for pure soul satisfaction. Just a few minutes into it was enough to convince me that hope had returned to the world of arts as well. The ninth edition of the annual Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival (RAKFAF) with the theme of Hope, which opened on February 6, is just what the art calendar needed; with the artists thrilled to be once again at the Al Jazirah Al Hamra Heritage Village, RAK.
