Established in Dubai in 2008 by Lateefa bint Maktoum, Tashkeel seeks to provide a nurturing environment for the growth of contemporary art and design practice rooted in the UAE. Through multi-disciplinary studios, work spaces and galleries located in both Nad Al Sheba and Al Fahidi, it enables creative practice, experimentation and dialogue among practitioners and the wider community.
At Downtown 2019, Tashkeel launched the 2019 edition of Tanween products by designers Abdalla Almulla, Lana El Samman and Yara Habib. The products are part of the ongoing Tanween programme that runs through an annual open call.
