Supporting a new generation of women artists
Hunna Art's missions and historyFounded in 2021 by Océane Sailly, Hunna Art is an independent contemporary art gallery committed to amplifying the voices of a new generation of women artists from or connected to the Arabian Peninsula. The gallery fosters critical engagement and artistic experimentation, addressing themes such as power dynamics, gender, history, social relations, and cultures. Through cutting-edge visual languages, the artists represented by Hunna Art explore historical, social, and political narratives alongside personal experiences, challenging dominant representations and shedding light on new subjectivities.
In just a few years, Hunna Art has established itself as a pioneering platform with an innovative exhibition program across the Arabian Peninsula and worldwide. The gallery places a strong emphasis on research, collaborations, residency networks, and participation in major international art fairs such as 1-54, Abu Dhabi Art, Art Dubai, Art Paris, Investec Cape Town and Menart. The opening of its first permanent space in Kuwait’s Design District in 2024 marked a significant milestone, anchoring Hunna Art within the region’s artistic landscape while continuing to foster meaningful dialogues around contemporary art practices.
