SeaPort is a curatorial residency and public platform based in the studio of Dor Guez Munayer in Athens, Greece.

The program invites emerging and established curators whose work engages the Mediterranean as a site of layered histories, contested narratives, and pressing contemporary concerns. Conceived as both a residency and a discursive arena, SeaPort positions curating as a form of research addressing questions of geography, memory, and translation.

Engaging with Mediterraneanism as both a contested construct and a critical field, SeaPort challenges essentializing views of the region. It foregrounds the Mediterranean as a contact zone shaped by circulation, displacement, and exchange, highlighting curatorial and artistic approaches that propose alternative cartographies and shared imaginaries.

Residents are given time and conditions to engage local contexts, collaborate with regional artists, and develop projects rooted in sustained dialogue. By fostering a shared vocabulary across linguistic, political, and territorial boundaries, the program supports research that is both situated and transnational.

Founded in 2018 in Jaffa and Haifa, SeaPort relocated to Athens in 2025, broadening its scope while maintaining a commitment to Mediterranean discourse as a field of inquiry and a platform for solidarity. The program connects artists, curators, and institutions across the region and beyond through collaborative research and exchange, positioning the Mediterranean not as a periphery, but as a central axis of political, aesthetic, and intellectual negotiation.
