Two outdoor murals were recently revealed at NEST-Arada in Sharjah, bringing students’ projects to life while adding a splash of color to the housing project. The Basketball Court mural is designed by Mariyam Al Helo, whereas the Swimming Pool mural is by Farah Bahaaeldin Barghash. The projects were part of a visual communication studio assignment and were identified as winners of the design competition sponsored by Arada last year. This partnership has succeeded in engaging students in actual projects benefiting their academic journey and have a lasting positive impact on the community.
