Disability, Inclusion and Digital Arts

All-Around Culture has successfully brought together three players in the cultural sector in Palestine, each contributing different expertise and areas of work. This innovative collaborative approach stands as an empowering model that merits replication and adoption by various entities in the cultural sector throughout Palestine.

As representatives and founders of the “Network of Digital Arts,” we are thrilled to witness the realisation of what started as a dream and conceptual idea two years ago. The project has transformed into a tangible and impactful initiative during its lifespan.

For Art to Heart, this journey has been invaluable, influencing our Alliance partners, Atabet Fann and Shaghaf, to consider the inclusion of people with disabilities in their activities and cultural interventions. Through workshops, we shared our expertise in working with people with disabilities and developed resources for them to use as references. We take pride in collaborating with our alliance partners on inclusive programming and contributing to the development of accessible resources.

We are delighted to share our stop motion animation zone and our center in Nablus as shared resources with our partners. Furthermore, we eagerly anticipate the opportunities provided by the digital studio created by Atabet Fann in Ramallah, which will assist us in expanding our outreach beyond Nablus and reaching new audiences.

In addition to our current collaborations, we are excited about future endeavours, particularly working digitally with Shaghaf on their digital art platforms, including exhibitions and festivals. This platform provides a significant opportunity for our young artists with disabilities, who may not have the chance to physically travel, to showcase their artworks globally.

Our Alliance, alongside the Network of Digital Arts, holds promising prospects for future opportunities in the digital art sector in Palestine.
