It’s a new year, and a new decade. Even though cultural and artistic events have slowed down a little bit in the past couple of weeks, we at 7iber are optimistic that Amman’s culture and art scene will continue to grow rapidly and become more dynamic and diverse. And we’ll be keeping an eye on it, but we need you to join forces with us.
