MiMa Manifesto

2009-12-15T15:59:00.000-08:00

Definition of Mirˉzam : is an architectural element found in the indigenous architecture of Kuwait. Made of metal a rare material at the time, its purpose is to drain rain water out from the vulnerable mud structures in order to keep it intact. Many folkloric stories and songs surround this particular part of the Kuwaiti culture making it an imperative part of what and who we are.

The same way that this small yet effective element gathers water, the MiMa initiative is to be a melting pot of different people with different disciplines and backgrounds enabling them to meet, mingle and exchange ideas to overlap and create a newer base to argue, discuss and juxtapose upon issues that affect us through a focus on different mediums of art and design.

1.Articulate a thematic design brief that has a temporal and ephemeral character. (Seasonal exhibitions)

2.This is not a competition. Contributors will be preselected and invited to work in collaboration with MiMa considering the theme of the brief formulated.

3.Showcase and juxtapose interdisciplinary professions to create a new outcome.

4.Promote culture of criticism through curating public discussions as part of the exhibited work.

5.Create “pretty things” – Naïve on the surface yet solid in its core.

6.End. Short-lived. Next.
