Body Mapping – 2019–2020

Donor: RAWA: Creative Palestinian Communities Fund

As part of this project, we succeeded in turning the Covid-19 pandemic challenge of isolation into an opportunity for communication.
We worked with our students with disabilities using the digital media available while they were at home and helped them practice and produce art
through which they communicated and broke the isolation of the pandemic.

Art Enables – 2019–2021

Donor: Drosos Foundation

We began the journey of this project with an exploratory question:
How can art enable people with disabilities?

We worked with different age groups and people with diverse abilities, promoting the integration of persons with disabilities through the arts.
Disabled and non-disabled people came together to play music, sing, draw, and learn handicrafts that can empower them economically.

Horizons/Afac – Art Residencies – 2021

Donors: British Council & Palestinian Cultural Fund – Ministry of Culture

A creative learning journey in which Art to Heart brought together 15 emerging disabled and non-disabled artists over a period of three months.
During this time, they were able to freely select and collaborate on different topics for their artistic projects, aiming to shed light on various social issues
and human emotions inspired by their own experiences or those of others.

Their ideas were embodied in dual artistic productions that explored themes such as homeland, woman, motherhood, diversity and acceptance of difference,
costumes, heritage, mental health, hidden energies, and the ability to be renewed and reborn.

With the support of the British Council and the Palestinian Cultural Fund – Ministry of Culture.

Masar Project – 2020–2021

Donors: A.M. Qattan Foundation and SDC

Believing that social change begins with the community itself, the Masar Project aimed to trigger dialogues to identify the needs of
the local community in the old city of Nablus. It also highlighted the challenges and problems that the community wanted to bring to the attention
of policymakers in the city.

Arts and culture were used by the local community as tools for self-expression, advocacy, and a means to raise their voices.
As an outcome, Mothers of Love was established — a lobbying group formed by mothers of persons with disabilities.
