We are dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and sharing Palestinian culture, heritage, arts, and identity.

Sana Abo-Khalil

Founder & Chairperson

“I believe culture is one of the strongest bridges between people.”

Our Culture. Our Story. Our Future.

We believe that Palestinian culture is more than just surface-level traditions, clothing or festivals it is the lived experience, shared values and daily actions that shape how we see the world.

The tradition from the Palestinians culture that we help future generations to learn about and experience. Our work brings generations together, encourages creativity and strengthens a sense of community and belonging.

We work to bring Palestinian art to summit of the art world and we hope that these initiatives will make the wider community learn about the Palestinian culture and heritage through the shared stories of art with the emphasis on heritage and history.
