Edge of Arabia
Declaration
Edge of Arabia is an internationally-recognised platform for dialogue and exchange between the Arab and Western world, committed to reaching new audiences and improving understanding through exhibitions, publications and public programming. To date, Edge of Arabia has welcomed over 1,500,000 visitors to its exhibitions, distributed over 50,000 books and catalogues worldwide and reached a wider audience of over 10,000,000 through dedicated communications campaigns. Artists matter because they change the way we consider the status quo. They can channel their power of imagination into solutions to global issues; they can address the system's gaps. And it is often society’s cultural protagonists who serve as its conscience and its change makers. That is why artists must be part of the conversations towards addressing global challenges such as climate change, hunger, poverty, inequality, peace and justice.
