Our Approach

As a non-profit cultural association, our aim is to support visual narrative and strengthen connections between the Arab region and the international publishing landscape.

We support illustrators through our Illustrated Arab Initiative and accompany publishers through project-based and editorial guidance.


We are not a commercial agency and we do not act as agents.
