I am a cultural strategist and art world advisor with nearly 20 years of experience across the globe.

As an academic and lecturer with a focus on the relationship between politics and culture, my interests lie in the field of cultural diplomacy and social change through culture.

Through my expertise as an art world professional and patron of the arts, I connect people with similar ideas and provide opportunities for diverse creative communities across events, collaborations, partnerships, patronage, philanthropy and education. 

With my Libyan roots, I’ve had a natural affinity with the Middle East. A large majority of the work I do is dedicated to sharing the art and stories of Arab creatives with a global audience. One of my goals is for contemporary art from the Middle East to be a part of the international artworld ecosystem. Over the years, I have successfully connected networks in the Middle East, the UK, the USA, Europe and Asia.
