Culture Resource is extending the deadline for applications for the open call “Reclaiming Our Commons: A Proposal for Cultural Collaboration Across the Arab Region,” which was launched to mark its 20th anniversary, until Monday 15 April 2024 at 16:00 Beirut time.
This call is addressed to initiatives, cooperatives, independent cultural and artistic organizations, as well as artists and cultural actors. It seeks to support artistic and cultural projects across diverse artistic and interdisciplinary domains, provided they adopt cooperative, participatory, and/or commons-based approaches. Culture Resource and the project partners will provide grants ranging from €8,000 to €30,000 to fund the selected projects, which will be implemented and showcased in various cities across the Arab region in 2024 and 2025. Subsequently, a selection of these projects will be invited to participate in central events in Beirut and Ramallah, the details of which will be determined later.
“Reclaiming Our Commons” was formulated in partnership with A.M Qattan Foundation and has been developed by a number of fellow and partner organizations, including Ettijahat – Independent Culture, Aflamuna, and L’art Rue, which constitute a nucleus contributing to project funding and programming.
