The complete program
A new artistic initiative for contemporary Palestinian creationSahab is an artistic initiative developed by the Hawaf collective. Since 2021, it has brought together artists and researchers to support contemporary Palestinian creation, while imagining new ways to preserve and share this cultural memory. Born from the idea of the Sahab Imaginary Museum, the project explores how art, imagination and digital tools can contribute to the construction of cultural infrastructures beyond borders and isolation. Rather than operating as a traditional institution, Sahab operates as a decentralized platform combining artistic production, research programs, workshops and scholarships.
