Who is Husni Abukrayem
Current Dean of the Arts and Design Faculty, Al Zarqaa University of Jordan. He holds a Phd degree in Criticism of Fine and Applied Arts, and a Masters degree in Fine Arts (Graphics) from the Academy of Fine Arts, Tashkent-Uzbekistan.
Prof. Abu Krayem has actively participated in arts exhibitions on both the pan-Arab and international levels, in addition to his personal ones that stretch over time and place, from his pre-graduate years up to present. Throughout these participations, he was keen on enhancing and upgrading his audiences’ artistic taste and good receptive appreciation, and to establish formative arts as a popular culture, away from the concept of the elite.
Right from the early days of his professional career, he worked on fulfilling his own project of a unique academic model through organizing fine arts teaching workshops and observing at first its evolution. It was to this end that he launched and maintained the “Studio-11” workshop and center in 2004 from which a highly-distinguished group of plastic arts masters and educators have graduated. By the term of this center comes the incubator as an extension to its academic revolution in 1987 by the name of the “AL-Marsam” as an indication to his old small personal studio in the camp, which appeared all from there.
