Does the Arab World have a thriving game design scene? Fawzi Mesmar discusses the growing and evolving game design ecosystem in the Arab World. He talks about the big players in the region who are actively making games and what's needed to attract big talent and grow the industry.

****** ABOUT THE SERIES ******
afikra Conversations is our flagship program featuring long-form interviews with experts from academia, art, ‎and media who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with new ‎found curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. ‎Following the interview there is a moderated town-hall style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience ‎on Zoom.‎ Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp
