Middle East North Africa Pavilion
This year, VOLTA Basel will present the MENA Pavilion, an exhibition dedicated to highlighting the distinct artistic narratives, cultural heritage, and contemporary expressions of the Middle East and North Africa region. The Pavilion will feature galleries from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Iran, and Lebanon, with some making their European debut and others returning with a fresh perspective.
Curated by Randa Sadaka, a writer and curator based in Beirut, the Pavilion: "Reflects the diversity of MENA identities, histories, and contemporary struggles with an inclusion of politically and socially engaged works dealing with displacement, identity, and transformation"
