DLALA Information

DLALA (دلالة) is a consultancy agent that aims to preserve and communicate the diversity of cultural expressions, meanings, practices and values in the UAE and the Arab region. The basis of this concept is devising a (4x4) structure of workflow consisting of four conceptual fields (Arts, Culture, Design, and Heritage) focusing on four main deliverables (Advisory, Communication, Research, and Capacity Building). This intersection of these fields and deliverables creates a unique interdisciplinary cultural advisory which allows different streams of services for each cultural discipline. As such, DLALA aims to provide a supporting line of strategic planning, content building and research development across the cultural and creative industries (CCI), including cultural heritage, visual arts and crafts, museums, tourism, among other cultural domains. This intersection exercise reflects a transformational leap in the provisions of culture advisory locally, towards building a wider understanding of the international cultural commitments, mainly the provisions of the UNESCO cultural conventions and proclamations. The growing interest in the transnational conservation and management of arts and cultural heritage in forms of governance and capacity building heightens to spread coherent awareness regarding its changing role within economic and social contexts. DLALA’s connotaters are united by commitment to cultural diversity, social equity, and sustainability, we strive to promote inclusive growth and convey meaningful change through interdisciplinary collaboration and forward-thinking solutions.
