Through their curatorial platform Art Reoriented, the pair have collaborated with more than 70 museums worldwide, including ARTER in Istanbul, Saradar Collection in Beirut and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha. Currently the directors of Hamburger Bahnhof – National Gallery of Contemporary Art in Berlin, Bardaouil and Fellrath previously curated the National Pavilion UAE and the Pavilion of Lebanon at the Venice Biennale in 2022 and 2013 respectively, as well as the 16th Lyon Biennale Manifesto of Fragility.

In line with our ongoing commitment, our curatorial approach will prioritize the artists, allowing their voices to continuously broaden our understanding of the complex worlds we inhabit. We look forward to bridging our global network to the 14th edition in 2025.”
TFAM director Jun-Jieh Wang said: “As the baton is passed on to the curatorial duo of Bardaouil and Fellrath, we envision a platform that transcends national boundaries, and offers enduring reflective dialogues informed by a variety of perspectives and experiences.”
