zad programme mobility funding

Zad is a support framework designed to promote mobility and communication for artists from the Arab region residing in Europe. An initiative of Ettijahat, its main objective is to develop their artistic and professional path in collaboration with their peers and across various artistic spaces and platforms. Additionally, Zad assists artists in reaching and engaging with different types of audiences, all while enhancing their contributions to public life within the cities and countries in which they reside and work.

Zad’s support covers all artistic and literary specialisations and is open to individuals of all ages. Some examples of this support include: presenting theatrical works and live artistic performances, concerts at music festivals, streaming films in cities and places where they have not previously been streamed, organising or joining literary readings, organising and relocating art exhibitions, and sharing the outcomes of artist residencies.
