Here, in our region, Get Together features Arabs who are each putting their stamp on the cultural landscape in the Middle East. From a Saudi Arabian photographer to a Tunisian model pioneering for body positivity regionally recognised jewellery designer, the makeup of the gathering is literally synonymous with content creation.
