About

THE STORY

Inaugurated in 2017, Hammana Artist House is a 1700 m2 space dedicated to artistic creation and formation. Situated in the heart of Hammana, a village 45 minutes away from Beirut, this place of residence has several rehearsal and accommodation spaces, a scenography workshop, and an open-air theatre. Throughout the year, local and international artists can benefit from the time, space, and support they need to develop their artistic practices. Generating multiple partnerships and types of collaborations across the country, as well as regionally and internationally, HAH stimulates a diverse cultural dynamic, encourages creative processes that incorporate the country's realities, and promotes an all-inclusive artistic approach. Hammana Artist House is also a home, one that gathers artists and audiences around a multidisciplinary programme in a hospitable and warm environment.

OUR VISION

To bring about an integrated and sustainable cultural and artistic sector that supports free expression and understanding within a multicultural society.

 

OUR MISSION

To articulate and maintain an integrated and decentralized ecosystem of artists, institutions, civil society and audiences across Lebanon. To bring them together through joint efforts, solidarity and the mutualisation of resources, building towards shared visions and common creative dynamics.

THE HOUSE

Away from the city, Hammana Artist House is an ideal place to concentrate and get inspired. Previously an old Lebanese house, it was renovated and expanded to provide a variety of spaces, all at the disposal of artists-in-residence, creating a safe and comfortable environment for artistic reflection and creation. The house has the ability to be versatile and re-configure itself in multiple ways, making it well-matched to a diverse array of social, cultural, and artistic encounters. ​ HAH Furniture & Interior Layout: Fabrika
