Daniel “Gravy” Thomas – aka the Sailor Jerry Rude Boy – is out to explore Dubai’s underground arts and culture scene.

Arguably the best way to get to know what’s really going on is by talking to a few creative minds at the top of their fields in culture, art, fashion and music, much like Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins. I chatted with the Editor in Chief of Esquire Middle East, Matthew Baxter-Priest who helped me understand the moving culture, “Dubai is a super interesting place to be. I grew up in several different countries and the first time I came to this city, I immediately felt it was one of the most hospitable places I had experienced.”

“This place is a true melting pot, where many different cultures come together to live life as one”. But what of the city’s international reputation as being just full of skyscrapers and shopping? “You know, Dubai certainly has that reputation,” says Baxter- Priest, “and — in the most part — it’s true. But that’s not all it has going for it. Over the last few years, there has been a real boom in terms of art and culture.

Most recently, entire areas of the city have been raised to celebrate it; places like Dubai Design District which is home to local fashion designers and boutique studios, and Al Serkal Avenue — an organic hub for the city’s art scene.”
