Moving Artists
London, United Kingdom · Photography
Ixone Sadaba is a photographer and founder of Moving Artists (MA), an artist-run non-profit dedicated to facilitating mobility and cultural exchange for cultural workers whose practice is threatened by situations of conflict, isolation and cultural crisis.
Since its foundation in 2018, MA has offered mobility and a temporary space for protection, recognition, reciprocal sharing and international visibility to a number of artists between Iraq, Spain and Palestine. MA aims to engage with international networks and institutions to cultivate contemporary artistic practice in zones of conflict and recognize it as a heritage under threat that must be protected.
