Dubai 2012:  This morning I passed by the Traffic Gallery, located on Umm Sequeim road (very easy to get to, as long as you know where it is located).  It was a day after I attended the free workshop on the Creative Block is a Loser. The Market of Everything is a concept worth seeing and reporting.  Here is the place for creatives (both vendors and buyers) to come together under one umbrella to sell, buy, donate and just meet up. It is curated by Rami Farook (the owner of Traffic Gallery) and the Traffic Gallery.

Happening between Apr 12 – 21, 2012, the Market of Everything is a very interesting concept.  A great mix of  handcrafted in the UAE (Ragmatazz, Gorgeoustuff, Lady Mauve), to vintage clothing (Chickpeas), from second hand books (thanks to Feline Friends Dubai) to even a motorbike (would you believe).
