What We Do

We are dedicated to the development, understanding, and international circulation of contemporary Arab stories.

Our aim is to support clarity, intercultural understanding, and meaningful circulation of stories between the Arab regions and international editorial and cultural ecosystems.

Our Role in Editorial and Cultural Circulation

We work alongside creatives, publishers and cultural actors through accompaniment and shared reflection.

Our contribution focuses on helping partners better understand contemporary Arab narratives, their cultural contexts, and the conditions needed for these stories to circulate with care, relevance, and long-term impact.

We do not act as agents. All financial and contractual matters remain directly between publishers and artists.

Several fairy-like characters with insect and animal features are seated around a table covered with a lace tablecloth, enjoying tea with small cups and a teapot. There are mushrooms, trees, and a squirrel with butterfly wings on a mushroom on the left, and whimsical fungi hanging from the trees. The scene is colorful and enchanted.
