About the organization
Ettijahat – Independent Culture is a non-profit organization established in 2011 in response to the Syrian uprising, with the aim of supporting independent artists and cultural actors from Syria and the Arab region. Its founding ethos is rooted in the belief that cultural expression is vital for social change and resilience, particularly in contexts of conflict and displacement. Over the years, Ettijahat has expanded its scope to include a range of programs that foster artistic production, research, and mobility, such as the 'Zad: Miles for Connection' initiative, which facilitates travel and networking opportunities for artists. The organization operates with a commitment to artistic freedom, community engagement, and the sustainability of independent cultural practices.
