Access to cultural an artistic expression as a human right, has also been at the core of the mission of MIMETA’s long term partner, Action for Hope (AfH). Founded in 2015 to the backdrop of the crack down on the Arab Spring in the MENA region, AfH had a vision of a just and tolerant world, where communities risking social fragmentation because of war, displacement, and extreme poverty are empowered to claim their right to artistic expression and access to culture
The aspect of narratives and who is presenting them goes to the heart of inclusion and is integral to Mimeta’s work. In the past, and 2023, Mimeta and partners have focused on telling the story of underprivileged groups, such as refugees. Partners organisations such as Ettijahat and L'Art Rue have an emphasised focus on the issue of inclusion of marginalised communities, including projects focused on telling the story of refugees, minorities, women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as people with disabilities.
