EOA was founded by a small collective of artists who met in the mountains of Aseer, Saudi Arabia, in 2003. What began as a border-crossing collaboration, against the backdrop of the last Gulf War, is now an established platform which has grown bold through the realisation of international projects & the grassroots support for its mission.
Edge of Arabia and Art Jameel are proud to be collaborating on the Kochi Muziris Biennale 2014. As Artist Project Supporters, we are delighted to support Khalil Rabah and Shahpour Pouyan’s participation at the biennale, facilitating the exposure of Middle Eastern artists at one of the most exciting contemporary programs in the region.
Edge of Arabia and Art Jameel are proud to collaborate with the Armory Show 2015 respectively as the Cultural Lead and Education Partner of the Focus Section of the fair which will highlight art from the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean (MENAM). Look out for site-specific projects, panel discussions and events across New York City.
Art Jameel in partnership with Edge of Arabia and the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, New York, are collaborating again on a residency program for artists and curators living and working the Middle East and North Africa. The open call announcement will be published soon, more information to follow.
"Where activism is curtailed, censorship is widespread and overt social critique is frowned upon, the rebellion inherent in humour is particularly valuable and powerful."
Never Never Land features short films, animations, photographs and installations from Abdullah Al Mutairi, Arwa Al Neami, Monira Al Qadiri, Foundland, Hasan Hujairi and Ahmed Mater. The exhibition, curated by Amal Khalaf and Stephen Stapleton.
CULTURUNNERS continues its journey in 2015 with a special project as part of Armory Focus in New York in March. Our modified RV will be the mobile component of the Armory Focus facilitating expanded conversations with communities across the city and during the fair.
