About Bidoun

Since 2004, Bidoun has filled a gaping hole in the arts and culture coverage of the Middle East and its diasporas, pioneering a distinctive voice that is original, intelligent, and irreverent. From the beginning, Bidoun has served as a home for new questions, images, and ideas about the region.

Bidoun’s activities fall in three primary areas: publishing, educational, and curatorial. To date, our projects have included a range of pursuits: exhibitions, writing workshops, artist commissions, talks, tours, performances, film screenings, books, an itinerant library, and an online archive of avant-garde media.
