Mawane is an independent, non-profit initiative that hosts exhibitions, talks, and workshops to engage diverse audiences in critical urban discourse. Founded as a platform for collaborative, experimental architecture and research, Mawane shifts cultural events from central art hubs to often-overlooked spaces across Bahrain. By highlighting underrepresented topics and documenting urban transformations, it aims to reconnect people with their surroundings, and the sea. Mawane encourages public participation and fosters inclusive dialogue, making space for voices often excluded from traditional cultural and intellectual settings.
