British Council Palestinian Territories
Arts Partnerships

We work in the arts to encourage creative exchange between Palestinian and UK artists to establish long term ties between organisations, foster creative exchange and deepen cultural understanding.  We focus on Palestinian arts organisations that work with young people.   Our activities include theatre, music, literature and visual arts.

Palestine through the eyes of Young Artists

In partnership with Filistin Ashabab; Jeel publishing and Wataniya Mobile Company; we are touring the exhibition “Palestine through the Eyes of Young Artists” in different cities during the year 2010. The exhibition is part of our work in arts in Palestine and together with Filistin Ashabab we invited more than twenty Palestinian artists living in Palestine and the Diaspora; to participate in this project to draw their own impressions about Palestinian cities.  The outcome of their works is an exhibition touring different Palestinian cities in 2010 in cooperation with a number of cultural and academic partners in Palestine.

The exhibition attempts to establish and enhance the relationship between society and Art, and at the same time the society and the place. We also aim to explore the places through the artworks and discover not only cities, streets, alleys, buildings, and windows but also dreams, imagination, love, and memories through which we can experience the essence of the place.

A number of wrap-around activities are being organised for university and school students around the theme of “Place: City/Village/Camp”
