Monira Foundation

Exhibitions - the foundation produces original exhibitions by independent curators. Focusing on urgent themes drawn from current global culture, these ambitious displays juxtapose works by emerging and established artists in an atmosphere of philosophical, technological, and aesthetic experimentation. The foundation is also dedicated to mounting comprehensive exhibitions of work by influential artists from around the world, working with the community, and with other collections and foundations, to share their impact and preserve their legacies. In 2024, such exhibitions included "jonas mekas, open archives", which presented personal artifacts, items and memorabilia of the late jonas mekas, a pioneer in diaristic cinema, to the public for the first time to demonstrate the continuing relevancy of the artist studio practice.

Programs - the foundation partners with global arts organizations to provide high-quality educational programs and events for all ages, including music and dance performances, film screenings, poetry readings, and panel discussions on art and politics. In 2024, such programs included "discovering", a monthly program welcoming the public to view art exhibitions and learn and experience the featured artistic practice.
