Visit Bazaarna
Bazaarna is a digital marketplace and immersive experience that reimagines how Arabic cultural goods, crafts, and creative work reach buyers, locally and globally. The platform combines e-commerce with spatial and immersive design, giving sellers, makers, and cultural institutions a richer way to present their work and reach audiences who have historically been underserved by generic platforms. It is community-built: the platform's success is tied to the seller communities and cultural networks that grow it.
Bazaarna emerged from Studio Madane's Artists & Laborers Working Group, which spent two years focusing on the fragmentation of cultural and craft economies in the region. The venture is now one of Studio Madane's pilots, with the studio as its creative parent (i.e. recruitment, communications, and strategic governance flow through SM's network, etc.).
After two awards resulting in two prototypes, 10+ signed sellers, 50+ products from 5+ craft, and work from a creative team of 8 people from 6 different countries, Bazaarna is currently raising funds that will support marketing, expansion, and platform scale ahead of full market launch.
