Its way of working is imaginative and ambitious, inclusive and hospitable. Mophradat encourages and supports artists by bringing them together with one another and with curators and institutions which share progressive socio-political values. Between 2015 and 2019, it enabled the presentation of artworks and projects by more than 300 artists, connected with 2,000 young Arab artists around the world, and curated 15 exhibitions and events at partner organizations in Europe and the US.
