Sculpting is one of the oldest and most diverse forms of artistic expression, reflecting the cultures, beliefs and histories of different regions and peoples. In the Middle East and North Africa, sculpting has a rich and varied legacy, from the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia, to the contemporary artists who explore identity, politics, tradition and memory. Sculpting has also been influenced by and contributed to other art forms, such as painting, photography, architecture and literature.

Today, sculpting continues to be a vibrant and diverse form of art in the main region that reflects the creativity, diversity, and complexity of its people. Many contemporary sculptors from the region use various media such as wood, metal, stone, clay, glass, plastic, or recycled materials to create works that challenge stereotypes, question boundaries, or celebrate heritage.

Sculpting is therefore an important art form that reveals the creativity, diversity and complexity of the Middle East and North Africa. It is also a way of preserving and challenging the cultural heritage and contemporary issues of the region
