Dutch MENA Alliance (DMA) is a non-profit association that connects Dutch creative companies, artists, and cultural organizations with partners across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
We bring together professionals from film, music, visual arts, design, digital media, and content creation — building an open network for collaboration and artistic exchange.
Our Vision
To strengthen creative cooperation between the Netherlands and the MENA region by supporting co-production, knowledge exchange, and cultural partnerships. DMA helps bridge industries and ideas, connecting people who believe in the power of art and culture to cross borders.
What We Do
– Organize joint initiatives such as the Dutch Pavilion at Red Sea Souk 2025
– Facilitate access to markets, funding, and partners in both regions
– Support artists, producers, and cultural institutions who want to collaborate internationally
– Promote the exchange of creative works and productions between the Netherlands and the MENA region
