Sarah AlMutlaq is a curator and cultural strategist based in Riyadh. With a background in architecture and critical theory, her pedagogical approach merges the theoretical with the theatrical, transforming the experience of space into a stage set for speculative thought. Almutlaq has contributed to strategy and cultural asset development for institutions including the Black Gold Museum, Fenaa Alawwal, and Diriyah Art Futures. As partner and creative director of Bureau Bayn, a MENA-based creative cultural consultancy, she focuses on creating radical synergy between design practices and curatorial perspectives. Her recent curatorial work includes Unfolding the Embassy (2024), an exhibition held in Riyadh’s Fenaa Alawwal; her creative practice was presented at Noor Riyadh, Misk Art Institute, and the Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale. She is the assistant curator of The Um Slaim School: An Architecture of Connection, the Saudi National Pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2025.
