Diriyah Art Futures Hosts Open Studio for Mazra'ah Media Arts Residency
Saudi Arabia's Diriyah Art Futures (DAF) hosted its inaugural Mazra'ah Media Arts Residency Open Studio this week at its headquarters in Diriyah, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The event served as a valuable opportunity to showcase the behind-the-scenes work of the research and artistic projects developed by the Spring 2025 cohort of artists and scholars.
The first cohort consisted of the following participants: UK-based artist Dr. Stanza
Indian artist Harshit Agrawal
Saudi artists Arwa Yahya Alneami, Reem Alnasser, and Reem Alfagih
Japanese curator and scholar Mizuho Yamazaki
German scholar Anett Holszheid
The night featured various artist talks, studio walkthroughs, as well as interactive sessions in DAF's XR and fabrication labs.
Interestingly, attendees had the opportunity to visit the audio studio, extended reality, and production lab. There, they interacted with creative experiments and discovered the research and technical processes behind them.
Mazra'ah Media Arts Residency provides selected participants with access to labs and studios, a budget for production costs, as well as a dedicated production team.
To highlight the effect of technology on natural and constructed landscapes, the participant presented projects under the theme of 'High-Resolution Dreams of Sand.'
Diriyah Art Futures represents a strong partnership between the Saudi Museums Commission and Diriyah Company. The new hub seeks to leave a strong impact on the new media and digital art landscape through the integration of regional voices into the global art and technology.
