Naso Art Journal is dedicated to establishing a lasting and meaningful space for Middle Eastern and North African narratives beyond the Western canon. Recognizing the vital role that art history plays in shaping our understanding of cultural identities, we emphasize the importance of highlighting both the foundational figures who crafted the early narratives and the emerging artists who are rewriting and expanding this story today. Through the “Art History” segment, we will ensure that these vital cultural moments and figures are communicated about.
By centering around Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) art history, we aim to elevate voices that have historically been marginalized, ensuring their contributions are recognized and integrated into the broader global narrative. We understand that history is not static; it’s a living, breathing conversation that benefits from diverse perspectives and new insights. By dedicating space to both the pioneers who laid the groundwork and the innovators forging new pathways within MENA art, Naso Art Journal seeks to foster a comprehensive and enduring record of non-Western art history.
