Founded in 2017 by curator and artist Hind Bin Demaithan, Hamzat Wasl is an art and design management studio based in Dubai and Cairo. The multidisciplinary studio primarily operates as a go-between, matchmaking creatives with projects from organisations, government entities, and self-initiated programmes. Driven by the aim of fostering a community of creatives and encouraging collaborations, Hamzat Wasl offers in-house design and art services, consultancy, community programmes and commissions, all under one roof. Since its inception, the studio has worked with a number of government agencies including the Ministry of Culture and Youth and Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, as well as commercial commissions with Tiffany & Co. and Dubai Design Week.
