Fly the Flag 2023 - Alia Alzougbi

DaDa Fellow Alia Alzougbi responds to the question 'What do Human Rights mean for you?' as part of the 'Fly the Flag' campaign to mark the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on Sunday 10th December 2023.

Alia is an artist, educator & cultural producer. Her practice is based on storytelling techniques and traditions and, as well as performing, she curates cultural events and is a DaDa Fellow.

Her grounding in Social Anthropology, Applied Theatre and Development Education compels her to find ways of subverting dominant narratives. Her work resonates with principles of social and environmental justice, activism and equity as complex processes within deeply interconnected systems. Her practice in the community amplifies lesser-heard stories through co-produced creative outlets.

Alia is a BAFTA nominated performer and was recently appointed as joint CEO of Shubbak, the UK's largest festival of contemporary Arab culture.
