March Project

March Project 2015 is an exhibition featuring site-specific works developed by seven young artists during this educational residency programme. In its second edition, the exhibition will include performances, video works and installations on view at SAF Art Spaces, Calligraphy Square and the Arts Area. Participants in this programme include Majd Abdel Hamid, Maysoon Al Ali, Mona Al-Beiti, Balqis Al Rashid, Matt Copson, Sholto Dobie and Matthew Peers, who were selected from various countries including Palestine, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

As a residency programme for young artists, March Project is providing them with opportunities to research, realise and present site-specific works through a series of professional seminars, site visits, talks and mentorship by art practitioners. Mentors for March Project 2015 were Tarek Al-Ghossein, Lara Khalidi, Derek Ogbourne and Alaa Younis.
