Naso Art Journal is dedicated to illuminating the extraordinary creative voices emerging from the MENA region while fostering a dynamic, globally engaged platform shaped by a shared reverence for art. Central to this mission is the belief that meaningful collaboration is not only valuable but essential. It is through collaboration that we invite a multiplicity of viewpoints—those that challenge, expand, and enrich our understanding of the artistic practices rooted in, and inspired by, the MENA region.
In June 2025, as we mark our half-year milestone, we are proud to officially launch Collaborations—a new editorial segment that underscores the power of purposeful partnership. This initiative represents a deliberate and thoughtful extension of our core values, bringing together individuals, institutions, and organizations whose visions align with our own and whose collective strength enables us to drive sustainable, long-term cultural impact.
What distinguishes Collaborations is its curatorial integrity: each partner is selected not only for their excellence, but for their commitment to shared ideals—equity, innovation, critical dialogue, and the transformative potential of art. Whether through co-authored essays, cross-institutional projects, or regional artist features, these joint efforts will offer our audience an unparalleled lens into the ways creative synergy can catalyze change.
Through Collaborations, Naso Art Journal evolves further into a living ecosystem—an intentional space where creative forces converge, common visions are magnified, and art becomes a catalyst for enduring cultural resonance.
