Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi – Art for the People, Art by the People

Art for the People, Art by the People by Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi
Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi’s Art for the People, Art by the People.

Published in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi presents his research on participatory art in the 56-page double-sided leporello Art for the People, Art by the People.

"Through this publication, I aim to contribute to the evolving conversation on participatory art, encouraging fellow artists and advocates to explore its potential for creating meaningful social impact. By reflecting on established literature and personal experience, I demonstrate how participatory art can spark immediate connections while also paving the way for long-term transformation within communities. Ultimately, this work reflects the integral role participatory methodologies play in shaping my artistic identity, linking individual stories with collective experiences." — Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi
