Mohamed is the Director of Gulf Photo Plus (GPP), a Dubai-based gallery and community organization cultivating visual practices in photography in the UAE, and across the wider MENASA region since 2004.

After working with the Dubai International Film Festival for its last 6 editions, Farah joined the team of Beirut DC in 2019 and is now the director of their impact programs including Impact Labs and Good Pitch بالعربي.
