Sumac Space as a non-profit platform navigates sociopolitical themes via exhibitions, dialogues, and collaboration that emphasize critical thinking in art practices. We collaborate with artists, curators, and research bodies that address contemporary urgencies in the context of the region's challenging socio-political circumstances. Alongside our exhibition programs, we invite viewers to explore i
ts digitally accessible Dialogues and Artists’ Rooms, which are the core pillars that shape and define the entirety of Sumac Space. Dialogues are a place for being vocal. Here, authors and artists get together in conversations, interviews, essays, and experimental forms of writing. We aim to create a space of exchange where the published results are often the most visible manifestations of relations, friendships, and collaborations built around Sumac Space. Artists’ Rooms are digital spaces of thoughts by artists, allowing audiences to explore their thinking processes and research beyond the artwork itself, a space for viewing and contemplating relations between different artifacts and subjects. As we progressively build a community of artists, curators, and research bodies gravitating around the region, we welcome diverse voices to actively participate in forming Sumac Space. We propose collaboration and foster a sense of shared and collective ownership, not as mere themes or theoretical concepts but as unconditional ways of working.
