Badr El Jundi Foundation marks a shift — not away from exhibition-making, but towards a broader responsibility.

What began as a gallery has evolved into a platform where artistic practice intersects with social engagement and environmental awareness. The focus extends beyond presentation, into the conditions that sustain both artists and communities.

Through collaborations with local initiatives — including work with children and orphanages — the foundation expands the role of art as a tool for connection, care, and shared experience.

A quieter form of visibility takes shape: one that nurtures processes, supports long-term development, and remains attentive to its ecological footprint.

From hosting exhibitions to building ecosystems. From space to responsibility.

Badr El Jundi Foundation se transforma: no se aleja de la organización de exposiciones, sino que asume una responsabilidad más amplia.

Lo que comenzó como una galería se ha convertido en una plataforma donde la práctica artística se entrelaza con el compromiso social y la conciencia ambiental. Su enfoque va más allá de la presentación, abarcando las condiciones que sustentan tanto a los artistas como a las comunidades.

Mediante colaboraciones con iniciativas locales, incluyendo el trabajo con niños y orfanatos, la fundación amplía el papel del arte como herramienta de conexión, cuidado y experiencia compartida.
Se configura así una forma de visibilidad más discreta: una que nutre procesos, apoya el desarrollo a largo plazo y se mantiene atenta a su impacto ecológico.
De la organización de exposiciones a la construcción de ecosistemas. Del espacio a la responsabilidad.

Lola Zoido x @lakecomodesignfestival

The Badr El Jundi Foundation presented the work “Untitled (L·01)” by Lola Zoido at the Lake Como Festival. The piece is a sculptural lamp that extends the artist’s practice into the realm of functional objects. It stems from an exploration of how digital images, memories, and visual fragments from the artist’s personal archive can transition from the screen into a physical, tactile, and luminous form.

Visiting museums is an essential part of our curatorial research.

Our visit to Kunstmuseum Basel offered the opportunity to experience dialogues between architecture, collection, and exhibition design—encounters that continue to inform our understanding of artistic practice and institutional discourse.
Every exhibition is an invitation to look more closely, ask new questions, and keep learning.

Visitar museos es una parte esencial de nuestra investigación curatorial.

Nuestra visita al Kunstmuseum Basel nos permitió recorrer los diálogos que se construyen entre la arquitectura, la colección y el diseño expositivo, encuentros que continúan enriqueciendo nuestra comprensión de la práctica artística y del papel de las instituciones culturales.

Cada exposición es una invitación a observar con mayor atención, formular nuevas preguntas y seguir aprendiendo. by @badreljundigallery

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming Maria Gracia de Pedro @mariagraciadepedro from the Badr el Jundi Foundation @badreljundigallery and a group of art enthusiasts for a visit to Salemi and our three studios.

This year, the Badr el Jundi Foundation awarded complementary funding to one of our resident artists, Katy Stubbs @katy.stubbs - so we took the opportunity to bring everyone together in person: to see Katy’s work up close and explore possible future collaborations.

Swipe to see moments from the visit and what Katy’s been working on during her first week of residency 🕊️🔪👢

Working across painting, drawing, and installation, Regis develops a practice shaped by research, intuition, and an ongoing engagement with memory, place, and transformation.

During our conversation, the artist shared insights into a new body of work currently in development, offering a glimpse into the ideas and processes that are shaping her latest explorations. We also discussed her recent residency at Mack Art Foundation in New York City, reflecting on how encounters with new environments, communities, and artistic dialogues continue to inform and expand her practice.

During our visit to Palazzo Butera in Palermo, we explored the remarkable collection assembled by Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi. Built over decades since the late 1960s, the collection reflects a deeply personal journey through art history, bringing together contemporary works, decorative arts, Old Masters, and antiques. Housed within one of Palermo’s most significant historic palaces, the collection creates a dialogue across periods, cultures, and artistic traditions, offering visitors a unique perspective on the enduring connections between past and present.

During our visit to Palermo, we met artist Jessica Adamo, co-founder of Studio Pica whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, installation, ceramics, and collaborative projects. At the Museum of World Cities, Adamo has created an immersive environment that reflects her interest in play, storytelling, and collective imagination. The museum is envisioned as a space for projects, people, experiences, and visions from around the world. Through vibrant forms, handmade objects, and an open-ended visual language, the installation invites visitors to explore new ways of seeing and engaging with space.

Ryan Schneider’s first solo exhibition in Spain, Murmuración, arrives at La Térmica. Pure matter and memory.

After a two-month residency in Málaga, the American artist presents a body of work conceived entirely during his stay—a direct dialogue with materials and the production space. In his hands, wood, stone, bronze, and gold leaf become archetypal, angular, sharp forms that evoke both the raw force of nature and a deep, prehistoric spirituality.

His connection to the Mojave Desert ecosystem, where he lives, infuses every piece with mythology and mysticism.

Badr El Jundi Foundation recommends.

Opening: Thursday, June 4, 8 PM
Dates: June 4 – September 13, 2026
Venue: La Térmica, Málaga by @badreljundigallery

Matthew Eguavoen is currently featured in 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘜𝘴, a group exhibition on view at Mitochondria Gallery in Houston through May 30. The exhibition examines how territory, memory, and our relationship to land inform constructions of male identity — positioning landscape not as backdrop, but as an active emotional and cultural force.

The Nigerian artist previously collaborated with Badr El Jundi Foundation in the 2021 group exhibition 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵 and again in 2022 as part of a charity auction supporting Ukraine. Witnessing the continued evolution of his practice within an increasingly dynamic international context has been especially meaningful.

La exposición examina cómo el territorio, la memoria y nuestra relación con la tierra influyen en la construcción de la identidad masculina, posicionando el paisaje no como un mero telón de fondo, sino como una fuerza emocional y cultural activa.

𝘈𝘶𝘳𝘶 (Raquel Algaba, 2024) is one of the works that enrich the Badr El Jundi Foundation’s collection. The Sevilla-based artist unfolds a world of hybrid figures—between the human and the divine—to reflect on desire, memory, and identity from decolonial perspectives.

With references ranging from Egyptian cosmology to Greek heroes, her work reminds us that art can be a bridge between cultures and a tool for social transformation.

Discover this and many more works on our website.

Argentine artist Pilar Zeta works with sacred geometries and universal symbols to create objects that transcend their materiality. Her installation in the gardens of San Clemente Palace in Venice, produced by Marmonil, engages with the natural environment through essential and timeless forms.

Three works in Egyptian marble comprise the intervention: Mirror Gate II, Egg of Breccia Fawakir, and Egg of Red Aswan Granite. Each functions as a symbolic portal, an invitation to pause before what cannot be explained with words.

Zeta’s work explores spiritual dimensions through a stripped-down visual language, where pure form becomes a vehicle for meaning.

The project took place during the Venice Biennale, inserting itself into the city’s tradition as a meeting ground between contemporary art and history. San Clemente Palace, with its gardens and island location, offers a setting where sculpture inhabits the landscape without imposing itself.

La artista argentina Pilar Zeta trabaja con geometrías sagradas y símbolos universales para crear objetos que trascienden su materialidad. Su instalación en los jardines del San Clemente Palace de Venecia, producida por Marmonil, dialoga con el entorno natural a través de formas esenciales y atemporales.

Tres obras en mármol egipcio conforman la intervención: Mirror Gate II, Egg of Breccia Fawakir y Egg of Red Aswan Granite. Cada una funciona como un portal simbólico, una invitación a detenerse frente a lo que no puede explicarse con palabras.

La obra de Zeta explora dimensiones espirituales mediante un lenguaje visual despojado, donde la forma pura se convierte en vehículo de significado.

El proyecto tuvo lugar durante la Bienal de Venecia, insertándose en la tradición de la ciudad como espacio de encuentro entre el arte contemporáneo y la historia. San Clemente Palace, con sus jardines y su ubicación insular, ofrece un marco donde la escultura habita el paisaje sin imponerse.
