FOUR CONNECTED AREAS

Our work

Cultural Cooperation

We develop exchanges and collaborations connecting Switzerland with artists and cultural actors from Arab regions and the diaspora.

Publishing & Visual Narratives

We support the development and circulation of contemporary Arab visual narratives across languages, publishing contexts and audiences.

Research & Circulation

Through research, interviews and field perspectives, we examine how creative work and knowledge circulate and where connections are still missing.

Programme Development & Partnerships

We design focused programmes and partnerships with institutions, publishers, foundations and professional networks.

Four areas of SACA’s work: cultural cooperation, publishing and visual narratives, research and circulation, and programme development and partnerships.
