TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation, major sponsor of the Institut du monde arabe and the “ARABOFUTURS” exhibition
Following the success* of the “Parfums d’Orient” exhibition, TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation is backing the new contemporary art exhibition “ARABOFUTURS, Science-fiction and future worlds” at the Institut du monde Arabe (IMA). Open from April 23 to October 27, 2024, the exhibition is an invitation to travel through time and space and experience futuristic and hybrid cultures that shape the imaginations of tomorrow.
For six months, the IMA will become a laboratory of possibilities, where contemporary young artists from the Arab world express their creativity through futuristic representations and narratives. The exhibition displays work by 17 artists, video artists, visual artists, painters, photographers, and performers who explore science-fiction and fantasy to question current society and imagine future worlds. From April 23 to October 27, 2024, the IMA opens its doors for the public to explore new works and creations by artists from the eastern and western Arab worlds, that offer new perspectives and interpretations of today’s and tomorrow’s worlds.
The Institut du monde arabe and TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation - a 20-year partnership
TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation supports major exhibitions that promote cultural dialogue, encourage cultural exchange, and in which mediation actions and educational tools are designed and created with young people in mind.
As part of this exhibition, and thank to the support of TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation, several mediation systems and hands-on art workshops have been set up for young people who have very little access to culture due either to their social circumstances or geographical location. Culture helps broaden horizons, strengthens harmony in diversity and is a source of independence and fulfillment.
ARABOFUTURS, from April 23 to October 27, 2024.
