The Arab Image Foundation is a non-profit foundation that was established in Lebanon in 1996. The Foundation aims to promote photography in the Middle East and North Africa by locating, collecting, and preserving the region's photographic heritage. Our collections will be made available to the public at large in museum and gallery exhibitions and in published monographs.
Material in the collections will date from the early-nineteenth century to the present. The long-term goal of the Foundation is the creation of a center in Beirut for the preservation and exhibition of its photographic collections, for the study of Arab visual culture, and for the promotion of contemporary Arab cultural production and analysis.
