Vilma has dedicated her career to developing creative industries across New York, Chicago, London and Dubai. She joined Alserkal in 2012 and, in her time with the organisation, she has been instrumental in its evolution and responsible for overseeing Alserkal Avenue's physical expansion of US$20 million in 2015. Vilma has also been the driving force behind Alserkal's non-profit activities in the arts, which were formalised under Alserkal Arts Foundation in 2019, affirming the organisation's commitment to artistic production, scholarship and research.
The creative economy. The term refers to the interchange of ideas, intellectual property, knowledge and technology. But it is an ever-evolving concept, and resists being pigeonholed into a single definition. It has also become a bit of a buzzword in the UAE, especially in the last 15 years as the country has endeavoured to bolster its creative sector. In this time, several cultural institutions have been launched that reshaped the local creative landscape, notably Louvre Abu Dhabi and NYUAD on Saadiyat, Jameel Arts Centre and AlSerkal Avenue in Dubai and the House of Wisdom in Sharjah. But launching cultural institutions is only the first step. Next comes the challenge of engaging with the public and inspiring the next generation of artists, architects, software engineers, writers, publishers, researchers and filmmakers. Maya Allison, Executive Director of The NYUAD Art Gallery, and Bill Bragin, Executive Artistic Director at NYUAD Arts Centre, discuss the role NYUAD is playing in nurturing and developing this creative economy.
This week Anita and Sarah sit down with artist Aidha Badr, whose current solo show, “When I Desire You A Part Of Me Is Gone” (presented by Hunna at Alserkal Avenue) has taken Dubai by storm.

This week, we're joined by Vilma Jurkute, Director at Alserkal who shares her experience in developing Alserkal Avenue as the leading arts & culture district in the region. She chronicles its evolution from a marble factory owned by the Alserkal family to a collection of art and design galleries, artists' studios and other independent ventures, visited by over 600,000 people annually. Vilma reflects on why they take risks on entrepreneurs, what binds the space together and how they all support each other. Finally, she shares Alserkal's plans to expand online and continue building its platform including its digital arm, Folio by Alserkal.
Since late July, Alserkal Avenue has been hosting its summer programme under the theme Foretold Now. Curated by arts writer Kevin Jones, who describes himself as someone who is obsessed with studying the human desire to speculate, Foretold Now comprises talks, reading groups, and performances that explore the insatiable human appetite for the future — and people's attempts to predict it. On this episode of the FOLIO podcast, we investigate the obsessive need to soothsay.
