Ibraaz

Ibraaz is a London-based, UK-registered charity dedicated to art, culture and ideas from the Global Majority. An initiative of the Kamel Lazaar Foundation, it was founded in 2011 as an online platform dedicated to visual culture from the Middle East and North Africa, and has since evolved into a multidisciplinary cultural space amplifying the voices of artists, thinkers and cultural practitioners.

Its programme spans exhibitions, film, music, debates, food, publications, podcasts and other forms of cultural exchange, alongside editorial activities across print, digital and moving image. Rooted in the cultural pluralism of its North African origins, Ibraaz takes its name from the Arabic word meaning ‘to shine a light on’. The space is conceived as a place for dialogue, inquiry and exchange, where different perspectives can come together through art and culture.
