Corniche provides a platform to artists and illustrators specialised in comics, presently practising in Sharjah and the broader region, through various community-led exchanges and workshops. It simultaneously acts as a resource for identifying illustrators and comic artists for community-centred projects and initiatives at the Foundation. The third edition of Corniche is unique as it marks a return to in-person gatherings for the exchange of thoughts and ideas; the second edition was produced remotely via online platforms during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The editorial remit of Corniche is undefined and exploratory, which allows a range of perspectives to be published together, from personal experiences, anecdotes, science fiction and fantasy to surrealism, symbolism, dreams, events, myths to abstract and impressionist ideas.
