Isa Town School
Offscreen are proud to announce that two Bahraini students, Bashyer Abdulla and Aysha Essa, from Isa Town School have been chosen from 100s of potential candidates to take part in the 2008 Offscreen student expedition to the UK.
These students, chosen because of their creative and artistic potential, will now join six other young artists from UAE, Oman and Lebanon to take part in the pioneering project in July this year. The project is being run in partnership with HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, the British Council and Gulf Air.
Having entered their artwork into a competition, shortlisted students were interviewed by Stephen Stapleton (Offscreen founder) and Mohammed Al Sayed (HSBC). The photos here show a selection of artworks and photographs entered into the competition alongside photos from the interviews.
Many thanks to Mohammed, Forough and Kaltham (HSBC) and Wafa and Amy (British Council) for all their help.
