EcoRove is a collaborative, multimedia, research project and co-collaborative production studio examining the politics of critical zones and the livelihood of humans and non-human species who dwell in them. Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations to share knowledge, data, and narratives that re-contextualize eco-socio-political dynamics through a broad spectrum of documentary, scientific, and technological approaches. In 2020, EcoRove was awarded the Arab Fund for Art & Culture Fine Arts Grant for their project Cedar Exodus, which was exhibited at The New Museum in 2023 - 2024. They have been published in “Pre-Occupied Thoughts” (Al-Rawiya, 2024), and participated in WORLDING 2025 at MIT.
