PROJECTS
Though newly established, LumaTerra carries a legacy of expertise shaped by decades of experience in the cultural and knowledge sectors. Before founding the firm, our consultants contributed to the development of leading institutions across Kuwait and the wider region. These collaborations shaped our methodology and reflect the kind of impact we strive to create today. The projects below highlight some of the landmark initiatives our team has helped bring to life.
The Scientific Center of Kuwait (TSCK)
Advancing Science Education and Community Engagement
In partnership with TSCK, we developed the Strategic Framework (2025–2029), rebuilt the education department, and launched the region’s first bilingual, curriculum-linked school programs. Together, we supported expansion projects, delivered the center’s first in-house exhibition and designed frameworks for visitor engagement and capacity-building across functions.
Al Shaheed Park Museums (Habitat & Memorial Museums)
Connecting Nature, History and National Identity
We collaborated with the Amiri Diwan to deliver Al Shaheed Park Museums to shape education and engagement strategies that connect biodiversity, natural history conservation and national identity. By integrating interactive programming and inclusive storytelling, the museums were positioned as vibrant cultural spaces for reflection, learning and stewardship of Kuwait’s heritage.
Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre (ASCC)
Launching a Global Museum Complex
Working with The Amiri Diwan under the lead of Cultural Innovations, we helped deliver ASCC, one of the world’s largest museum complexes. On this project we contributed to operational planning, localized exhibition content, and staff readiness programs. Outputs included visitor journey frameworks, gallery commissioning and capacity development programs.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre (JACC)
Positioning a National Theater for Accessibility
With JACC, Kuwait’s national performing arts complex, we developed programming and audience strategies that balanced world class productions with accessibility. By creating frameworks for inclusive participation and outreach, we helped position JACC as both a cultural landmark and a community hub deeply connected to its community.
Kuwait National Cultural District (KNCD)
Building a Coherent Cultural Ecosystem
As partners in shaping KNCD, we contributed to education, engagement and governance strategies that tied multiple institutions into a unified cultural ecosystem. Our collaboration included operational models, workforce development, and partnership frameworks that strengthened resilience and advanced Kuwait’s cultural leadership across the region.
Kuwait Children’s Museum (under development)
Inspiring Learning Through Play
This one is dear to our hearts. We are working with The Scientific Center, supporting the creation of Kuwait’s first Children’s Museum by supporting on the strategic concept, interpretive vision, supervision of design and fabrication as well as the development of operations planning. This project, enabled by Huettinger Interactive Exhibitions, will deliver an inclusive space where children explore science, culture, art, and technology through play, strengthening curiosity, creativity, and school readiness in Kuwait.
North Africa and Middle East Science Centers Network (NAMES) (under development)
Reimagining a Regional Knowledge Alliance
Working with the North Africa and Middle East Science Centers Network, we are helping guide the revision of its new strategic framework. Through collaborative stakeholder engagement, benchmarking and framework development, this partnership will reposition NAMES as a dynamic, cross-disciplinary alliance for lifelong learning and cultural innovation across the MENA region.
The National Theater, Kuwait
Preserving Cultural Memory Through Film
We partnered with The National Theater to develop documentaries that safeguard Kuwait’s cultural memory and political history. Among them, Days of Terror, a four-part series on the Kuwait Airways hijackings, used oral histories to preserve regional memory, reached the premier spot on MBC Shahid -the Middle East’s most popular on-demand streaming platform -and earned regional acclaim. The project combined archival restoration, on-location interviews, and rigorous fact-checking, with bilingual subtitling to broaden access. It strengthened public discourse, supported educational use in classrooms and established a replicable model for documenting contested histories.
The National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL)
Documenting Theater and Cultural Heritage
In partnership with NCCAL, we developed a series of documentary films that preserve Kuwait’s rich theater traditions and cultural heritage. Together, we documented the evolution of performing arts in Kuwait- celebrating the artists and milestones that shaped national identity and safeguarded cultural memory for future generations.
