Kuwaiti graphic designer Mohammad Sharaf poses at his office in Hawalli, May 1, 2013. After two lacklustre decades, Kuwait is experiencing a quiet revival of an arts scene once known as the most avant-garde in the Gulf, thanks to a new generation eager to tackle sensitive issues using cutting-edge art forms. Sharaf has produced work about his native Kuwait, such as a poster showing the parliament building made of bones or pieces about free speech, inspired in part by the explosion of democratic debate in North Africa and the Middle East sparked by the Arab Spring uprisings. He says he has not faced any restrictions in Kuwait, but adds he keeps his works subtle and any criticism indirect. Picture taken May 1, 2013. To match Feature KUWAIT-ART.

Farouk Soussa, Citi\'s chief economist for the Middle East, speaks during the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority (DMCC) and Thomson Reuters Spring Energy Forum in Dubai in this April 17, 2012 file photo. One of the world\'s richest countries per capita, Kuwait has struggled for years to get big infrastructure projects off the ground because of bureaucratic red tape and political turmoil. A parliamentary election in December 2012 was the fifth in six years. The election seemed to be a turning point, however, since an opposition boycott of the poll meant members of parliament seen as more willing to cooperate with the government were elected.
