Kaleem, an art collective, comprises its Palestinian CEO and founder, as well as four other core team members who weave Arab history, art, and culture through a vibrant literary lens.
Based in Istanbul, Palestinian CEO and founder Momen Talal Nassar created the Kaleem brand and platform three years ago.
Kaleem, which creates content in Arabic, has been growing ever since. From telling the tragic love story of Layla and Majnun by Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi to honouring the likes of Mai Skaf, a Syrian actress and democracy activist, and prominent Palestinian political thinker and author Ghassan Kanafani — through Kaleem, Nassar and his current core team members weave Arab history, art, and culture through a vibrant literary lens.
Since October 7, the content on Kaleem has been focused on Gaza, where relentless Israeli missile strikes are ongoing. Nassar says: “I think we — the people outside Palestine, feel because we don’t have, like, political power. But we have words, we can talk . It’s important to talk about.” The entire situation is heartbreaking, and is what drives him to create awareness and push for meaningful action through Kaleem, Nassar adds.

After putting out a post calling for volunteers who could help in design work, writing, and more, the response was immediate, he says. Over 200 people from the Arab diaspora scattered around the world eagerly pledged to lend a hand, leading to the creation of
According to Nassar, there is a gap in the Arabic-speaking market for content that both speaks freely and reflects the voice as well as interests of everyday people and the youth, be it bright ideas or topics on current affairs.
