Project summary
This project restored a historic courtyard in Kafr’Aqab, safeguarding the space for future generations. The restored courtyard provides an operational space for Visual Arts Forum, an organisation dedicated to community development in the arts sector, with a focus on children and young people in Palestine.
Traditional dance (Dabkeh) and music was performed and recorded at sites in Palestine and Jordan, to showcase the region’s cultural heritage and artistic collaboration, promoted through local and social media coverage. A further digital campaign including a series of online seminars supported knowledge exchange across the region and explored new opportunities for future collaborations.
