The video art programme is an attempt to introduce video art as a medium to those interested in understanding the different techniques and styles of the medium that emerged in the twentieth century. It will unfold across two main screenings, with the first bringing together works by international artists from the 1940s to the 1960s, offering an overview of experimental approaches to video and film that range from performative interventions to technical innovations. The second focuses on the Arab region, presenting how artists have engaged with the medium to express aspirations, reflect on their environments, and grapple with the societal contexts they inhabit.

In upcoming iterations, the programme includes a special segment dedicated to Saudi video artists. This will take the form of a separate screening accompanied by a talk and conversation, creating space to reflect on the specific trajectories of video art as a medium in Saudi Arabia.
