What I Cover

I cover Bahrain's cultural life — its galleries and music, its festivals, and the way young artists keep reworking the pearl-diving heritage into something that speaks to now.

My Background

I trained in art history and wrote for regional culture desks before settling at News of Bahrain, where the beat is small enough to know everyone and large enough to stay surprised.

Journalistic Ethics

I champion work I believe in without inflating it, and I say plainly when something doesn't land. Criticism, done with care, is a form of respect for the artist.
