Ettijahat - Independent Culture

Founded in 2011, Ettijahat is a cultural organisation working to promote independent culture across the Arab world. Their main goal is to activate the role of independent artists in enabling cultural, and social change. They also seek to build a strong and authentic relationship between culture and art and all other sectors of society. They aim to achieve this by supporting artists and cultural entrepreneurs, empowering young researchers, building consensus and alliances between individuals and cultural institutions, promoting art and artists through regional and international platforms, and making art and culture more accessible to local and international communities and audiences.
