ATHR celebrates a historic milestone as our artist Muhannad Shono takes on the role of Contemporary Art Curator at the Islamic Arts Biennale 2025.
A prominent figure in both Saudi and global art scenes, Muhannad Shono has spent the past decade redefining storytelling and innovation through his groundbreaking work. From representing the Kingdom at the Venice Biennale in 2022 to being knighted into the French Order of Arts and Letters and releasing his first monograph in 2024, his achievements are nothing short of remarkable.
Now, Shono has been named Contemporary Art Curator for the second edition of the Islamic Arts Biennale, held at Jeddah’s Western Hajj Terminal from January 25 to May 25—a testament to his profound contributions to global art.
Join us in celebrating this trailblazer and inspiration to artists everywhere. We are proud to support Muhannad Shono on his journey and look forward to witnessing more milestones to come.
