POUSH welcomes the third edition of Intermix Residency!

Launched in 2022 in Riyadh by the Visual Arts Commission (VAC) of Saudi Arabia, the Intermix Residency aims to support artists, foster creativity, and celebrate the Saudi art scene on a local, regional, and international scale. Following the success of its first two editions in Paris, organized in collaboration with Manifesto Middle East and POUSH in 2023 and 2024, this year’s program continues its mission: to encourage creative exchanges and highlight the vibrancy of Saudi Arabia’s artistic scene on the international stage.

This three-month residency (from February 11 to May 9, 2025) is designed to support three emerging or mid-career Saudi artists, along with a curator, by providing them with a space for experimentation, creation, and collaboration at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic art scenes: Paris.

Throughout the residency, the four participants will receive dedicated support to develop their practice and careers while exploring new ideas, initiatives, formats, and collaborations. They will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the POUSH ecosystem (270 artists and curators), take part in exhibitions, conferences, and discussions, and benefit from workshops and production tools made available to them.

The residency will conclude with a final exhibition in May 2025.

Artists: Hayfa Algwaiz, Reema Al Mouh, Ahmad Haddad
