✨ About the exhibition

In "Mada," photos are not hung on walls… but on the heart.

Here, we do not capture the moment to document it, but to revive it.

"Mada" is a collective photography exhibition that does not just show you, but invites you to see… to perceive what lies beyond the image, and to hear what is between the shadows of light.

The exhibition is organized by Makeupik Media Production as part of the 25th edition of the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival,

and carries within its spirit a message:

that the image is not a mirror… but a bridge.

And that the distance between us is not measured in kilometers, but in snapshots.



🎯What are the images we are looking for?

 People's lives and their faces ​

Holidays and Occasions

Natural Landscapes

Traditional Food and Clothing
