London's Mosaic Rooms, a non-profit gallery dedicated to art and culture from the Arab world, reopens on February 18 after a year-long refurbishment and expansion. The renovation, funded by the Al-Qattan Charitable Trust, added new facilities including a recording suite, a salon, a family playroom, and an expanded bookshop. A permanent stained-glass window commission by Dima Srouji, 'Four Moons from Home (2026)', greets visitors, and the reopening is inaugurated with a solo exhibition by French-Moroccan artist Bouchra Khalili exploring the Arab Workers' Movement.
The reopening marks a significant moment for the platform, which has been a consistent UK showcase for major artists from the Arab region since 2008. Under new director Pip Day, the institution reaffirms its commitment to amplifying marginalized voices, histories of cultural resistance, and international solidarity. The expansion and new programming, including collaborations with platforms like Radio Alhara, reflect both the organization's evolution and the growing public curiosity around art from the Arab world and the Global South.
