Motaz Sobhy (b. 1991, Alexandria, Egypt) is a Los Angeles–based visual artist, documentary filmmaker, and culture‑sector leader whose practice fuses community‑driven storytelling with large‑scale program design. Over more than a decade he has steered multidisciplinary projects across Egypt, Jordan, Sweden, Germany, and the United States, earning endorsements from the Goethe‑Institut, MitOst, the National Museums of World Culture (Sweden), and Out Of The Circle. His creative work—such as the long‑term photography series “Scars of the Past,” published in Brownbook (UAE), and the short film “Dark Red,” which toured ten cities via the MegaCities‑ShortDocs Festival—explores memory, urban change, and social healing, while current mixed‑media projects tackle diasporic identity. As a curator and manager he has led “Oblivious to Me” (2021), overseen the two‑year Photography Lab (2019–2021), and acted as Artistic Director for Art for Clim’Act (2022), a Mediterranean initiative commissioning climate‑justice artworks. His managerial acumen was forged through a Cultural Management Fellowship at the Goethe‑Institut Alexandria, where he co‑founded and directed 6 Bab Sharq Art Space (2019–2023), praised for outstanding event coordination and budgeting. Further leadership milestones include producing “Folklore Bridges” during the TANDEM 360° exchange (MitOst, 2022) and mentoring youth for Out Of The Circle’s Cairo‑Leipzig arts‑mediation project. Sobhy’s training spans the DeVos Institute for Arts Management (U.S. Embassy Cairo, 2022), the Goethe‑Institut Cultural Management Program (2019), and a certificate in Management of Successful Arts & Cultural Organizations from The Cycle. Fellowship highlights comprise the U.S. State Department’s Professional Fellows Program (2023), the Room to Bloom Festival (Malmö, 2022), Art for Clim’Act – Les Têtes de l’Art (Marseille, 2022), and CREACT4MED (Barcelona, 2022). Across all roles he champions program and exhibition design, cross‑sector partnerships, budget and grant management, mentorship, and bilingual (Arabic/English) storytelling—continuing to craft platforms where artists and audiences co‑create new futures from Alexandria’s alleyways to Los Angeles galleries.
