Throughout history arts and culture were and will always be cornerstones in the lives of all humans and societies. The brusque and humble, the subjective and objective agency that is deeply embedded in all forms culture and arts has the power to liberate or avert the hearts and minds of individuals and societies from realizing and experiencing the genuine meanings of life.

While some captivate and fathom its powers, many are just satisfied and grateful of the beauty it brings to their lives..

The contemporary canon of social science fully affirm the above statement, and provides substantial scientific literature that acknowledges and speaks of the deep bonds between the arts and people's organic and spiritual existence. These sciences also assert the fact that arts and culture are dominant players and influencers in the continuous structuring and restructuring of the political and social identity and character of nations and individuals in the formal, civil and folk spheres.

At Ashraqat, Social Imagination of the Arts stands for the progressive and constructive utilization of the ‘Arts’ social agency; an agency which we strongly believe is capable of impacting genuine prosperity and emancipation for societies and its people.
