MMAG Foundation

Curatorial Ethos

The foundation’s programme focuses on advancing art practice and pedagogy in the MENA region by fostering critical dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and interdisciplinary experimentation. It supports artists through long-term residencies, public programmes, and exhibitions that examine historical contexts, societal models, and collective memory.
