SABAB Theatre is an independent touring theatre company led by Kuwaiti writer/director Sulayman Al-Bassam. Working across boundaries with an international ensemble of pan Arab and European theatre practitioners, musicians and visual artists, the company is dedicated to the production of ground-breaking theatre.

SABAB productions are characterised by a radical approach to text, multiplicity of languages, bold visual styles and an uncompromising engagement with issues concerning the contemporary Arab world, its people, cities, history and civilisational crossovers with the Mediterranean basin, Europe and the East.

The company has achieved wide acclaim and recognition for its productions, performing to audiences across the world.

Founded in 2021 by Océane Sailly, Hunna Art is an independent contemporary art gallery championing a new generation of women artists based in or from the Arabian Peninsula. Tackling questions of power, of gender, of the history of the Arabian Peninsula, of social relations and of youth culture, Hunna Art’s artists are developing cutting edge visual languages and researches that explore through art historical, social and political narratives as well as dominant representations and subjectivities and personal experiences.

Hunna Art was born out of the observation that regional artists were underrepresented in the local art markets and on the international stage, as well as out of a genuine appreciation and scholarly knowledge of the richness and depth of the Arabian Peninsula's contemporary art scenes, and a strong commitment to fight the underrepresentation and lack of visibility of women artists and professionals in the global art world. Hunna Art represents a carefully curated roaster of fifteen artists who are among the most talented of their generation and regularly invites emerging art critics and curators to collaborate, hence creating an international network composed of the new generation of art professionals while offering new and critical perspectives on the artists’s practices.
