Hunna Art gallery
Mezzanine floor, Design Center
Shuwaikh Industrial, Kuwait
Founded in 2021 by Océane Sailly, Hunna Art is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to amplifying the voices of a new generation of women artists from the Arabian Peninsula and the broader Arab world. Operating at the intersection of artistic experimentation and critical inquiry, the gallery accompanies artists whose practices engage with power dynamics, gender, history, and cultural identity — bringing new subjectivities into the foreground of contemporary art's most pressing conversations.
Hunna Art holds a distinctive place in the international landscape as a curatorial platform committed to presenting this work both across the region and on a global stage. With its permanent space in Kuwait's Design District, opened in 2024, the gallery builds an expansive programme of exhibitions, institutional collaborations, and partnerships with curators and galleries worldwide, further consolidated through participation in leading art fairs including 1-54, Abu Dhabi Art, Art Dubai, Art Paris, and Cape Town Art Fair.
Research and curatorial inquiry form the foundation of the gallery's practice. Hunna Art commissions critical essays and extends its editorial engagement through artists' books conceived as integral components of artistic projects — among them the first monograph dedicated to Alymamah Rashed, published with Skira in 2026.
Founded in direct response to the systemic underrepresentation of regional women artists locally and internationally, Hunna Art fosters a dynamic network of emerging curators, critics, and art professionals. Its artists are held in prominent collections throughout the Arab world and beyond, and the gallery's programme is regularly featured in leading publications across the field.
