About our projects
Art practices find their grounding and meaning only when they are presented and shared. With this in mind, we have over the years developed different programs to make that circulation possible. We believe that addressing audiences in the region and internationally as well as sharing amongst peers, are necessary experiences to generate a dynamic and maturing artistic community. Therefore, the programs we have set-up work to establish different levels and formats for exchange: Accomplices is an opportunity for a new generation to meet and find its language and affinities; Consortium Commissions is a model by which international institutions form a network of support for Arab artists and make their artistic narratives visible on a prominent scale; Orbitals is a chance for upcoming curators to create professional relationships with peers in unfamiliar locations and have new regional curatorial exchanges; Arts Fellows program is a chance for (recent) migrants to plug themselves into the art scenes of the new contexts in which they have arrived and become active in those art scenes; we also enjoy organizing Events ourselves, thinking curatorially and working hands-on with artists and meeting publics. Finally, we try to contribute to the critical thinking around subjects of relevance to the region’s art scene by spreading ideas through both Publishing online and in print
