Badiyeh Arts Exchange Program 02

The Badiyeh Arts× Archaeology of the Final Decade (AOTFD) Exchange is a professional research and curatorial exchange developed in partnership with Archaeology of the Final Decade (London). The program brings together cultural leaders, curators, and researchers to foster dialogue around cultural memory, archival practices, curatorial research, and international collaboration.

From 18–28 October 2026, Badiyeh Arts will host Dr. Vali Mahlouji, cultural historian, curator, and founding director of Archaeology of the Final Decade, in New York for a ten-day program of institutional visits, professional meetings, studio conversations, and a public program.

Designed around the participant's professional interests and ongoing research, the exchange creates opportunities to engage with museums, archives, residency organizations, galleries, universities, and other cultural institutions across New York. Through these encounters, the program encourages the exchange of ideas, expands professional networks, and fosters lasting relationships between cultural practitioners and institutions in New York and London.
