New London venue to focus on global majority arts—and host ‘necessary conversations’

A new cultural centre called Ibraaz is opening on 15 October in a historic Grade II-listed mansion at 93 Mortimer Street in London’s Fitzrovia. The inaugural exhibition is Ibrahim Mahama’s installation *Parliament of Ghosts*, which fills the ballroom with colonial furniture and plinths evoking Ghana’s past. The multi-disciplinary art space is entirely funded by the Kamel Lazaar Foundation and led by Lina Lazaar, who previously founded Jeddah Art Week and worked at Sotheby’s. Ibraaz will host talks, performances, film screenings, and exhibitions, and includes a bookshop, café, screening room, and a library-in-residence by the Otolith Group.
