Hammana Artist House creates opportunities for artists to develop their work in Hammana and beyond. These programmes aim to widen the scope of the artists' networks and experiences and to build bridges between the local and international art communities, challenging the increasing difficulty of mobility. Hosting international artists in Lebanon also allows young practitioners who don't have the opportunity to travel abroad to meet artists coming from different backgrounds, and to discover their particular approaches, distinct concerns, and various methodologies. It’s a way to mutually explore new aesthetics and artistic languages, and to share knowledge and questions through personal encounters between local and international artists.
