HIAP and Frame warmly invite you to an evening with Saad Eddine Said, CEO and Artistic Director of New Art Exchange (Nottingham, UK) – the UK’s largest gallery dedicated to contemporary visual artists from the Global Ethnic Majority.

Saad is a strategic cultural leader working at the intersection of communities, creativity, and institutional change. His work focuses on reimagining cultural leadership and governance through inclusive and community-led models.

At this event, Saad will present his new book, RETURN: Placing Citizen Voice at the Heart of Cultural Leadership, which explores the transformation of New Art Exchange into the first cultural institution in the world with a permanent citizen assembly embedded in its leadership structure.

The evening will include a presentation of Saad’s work and an informal Q&A facilitated by Emma Beverley (HIAP).
