Since 2024, the Swiss Arab Cultural Alliance has brought together contributors, advisors and collaborators across cultural, editorial and international contexts.

As part of its role in creating connections, the Alliance brings people and organisations together around projects, knowledge and opportunities for wider cultural circulation.
