Omar Al-Nakib, a Kuwaiti artist and filmmaker, is joining Kuwait Times as Head of Visual Design, and the creative mind behind Kuwait Times rebrand.

Al-Nakib's short films have screened in London, Berlin, Melbourne and Seoul as part of the CIRCA x DAZED ‘Class of 2022’ program, and in New York City during the 15th annual Science New Wave Festival. In 2023, he was selected to take part in their Symbiosis competition, in which a scientist and filmmaker are paired to produce a short film in a week. The resulting film, PANTAGRUEL, made in collaboration with geneticist Wyatt Touré, was screened in Brooklyn, New York and in Harlem as part of the Harlem International Film Festival.

He has exhibited with Visual Therapy and Gallery BAWA as a painter, and his illustrations have appeared in Word For/Word, Denver Quarterly, Blackbox Manifold, and Caesura.
