1 in 100 books features Arab and north african voices,
and that’s not enough.
our mission
Our mission is to support the development of contemporary Arab visual narratives and strengthen the conditions for their circulation.
Founded in Geneva in 2024, the Swiss Arab Cultural Alliance is a cultural cooperation alliance connecting artists, publishers, institutions and cultural partners between Switzerland, the Arab world and wider international networks.
We work to value human-led contemporary creativity from the Arab region and create bridges with partners in Switzerland and internationally, at a time of rapid technological change.
Our vision
We envision a world where contemporary visual narratives from the Arab region circulate across cultures and are part of global cultural conversations.
A world where future generations grow up discovering a richer plurality of stories, and where human creativity and cultural diversity remain essential in an era shaped by artificial intelligence.
