Aline KhouryApril 27, 2022, 22:00
How does the street and locality inform the practice of Dar Jacir? How are practices of care, hospitality and solidarity embedded in our work? What are the pedagogical practices of the space and what can alternative models of education provide emerging artists in Palestine? This seminar took a look into Dar Jacir’s experience of running and sustaining an artist-led space in Bethlehem, Palestine, and shared projects that were produced on-site, and which continue to shape and build on to its programs.
