Nobody knew what content meant in 2009. We were doing a web series in 2011, full-on production, nobody understood that at that time".5:10 – "We had a lot of titles and stations or you know, a lot of media that came with heritage and they disappeared because they didn’t adapt, they didn’t grow, they didn’t change. Change is natural. We grow every day as human beings, we have to adapt and change in our daily lives".5:56 – I’m not hesitant to ask a 5-year-old or even somebody on my team, saying, I don’t know how to do this and I think that is the proof of this industry where the younger generation that comes in, they come with so much more than we had.7:52 – What is my legacy? What am I leaving behind and what am I really wanting to do, what is my heart’s desire? I realized more and more, I wanted to teach kids and I wanted to sell my work. I wanted to start with selling my work, so it’s either you do your job or you sell your art. You couldn’t have it both ways.19:39 – I want Artezaar to be the home of artists.24:05 – I think those barriers have been broken down, where they realized talent comes from anywhere. It doesn’t matter what your background is, it doesn’t matter if you studied or didn’t study art. Talent is being recognized, I think UAE has enabled this entire art movement".30:27 – "At Artazar we want to empower them so they can choose art as a future if they want to or they can use art as a medium to express themselves and to grow better and to do things better and it doesn’t matter what art form they choose".Useful LinksLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leenakewlani/?originalSubdomain=ae Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leenakewlani.art/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leenakewlaniart/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/leenakewlani?lang=en Website: https://artezaar.com/ TEDx: https://www.ted.com/talks/leena_kewlani_e_ngineering_a_better_you

Episode 28 - Leena Kewlani - In this episode we talk to Leena about her exciting journey from working as a media advertiser for 22 years and then taking a leap of faith to follow her passion, art.

Leena comes from 22 years of media experience. Her roles at Digital Media Services (Choueiri Group) and at MEC (now Wavemaker) were to build, develop, create new products and expand the Branded Content offerings for agencies and clients. In April 2019, she created Artezaar.com with her business partner Teena Thawani. Artezaar is a unique online marketplace that connects artists with art enthusiasts, art lovers, collectors, and professionals.
