The Artist-in-Residence Program:
The Artist-in-Residence program provides local and visiting artists accommodation and studio facilities in Jerusalem for the creation, presentation, development and exchange of creative projects. This program serves as a meeting place for artists, facilitating creative encounters and discussion forums that are open to the public community, thus activating communication between Palestine and the international world. In order to further encourage this exchange, we invite the artists in-residence to contribute to the Al-Ma’mal Workshops program, working primarily with youth on creative projects.
We provide the artist with accommodation, materials and fabrication assistance, a living fee, the round trip ticket to Jerusalem, 24 hour access to a work space as well as access to a darkroom, workshop facilities and office equipment to enable artists to produce and present their work in Jerusalem. Furthermore, we engage local institutions from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah in cooperative activities with relation to the artist-in-residence program.
Upon prior agreement with the artists, selected artworks produced are safeguarded and form the Collection of Al-Ma'mal Foundation, which we aspire to develop as the nucleus of a Contemporary Art Museum – Palestine (CAMP). |

Ayreen Anastas
2004
2004
Ayreen Anastas was born in Bethlehem, Palestine after the Israeli occupation. Currently lives and works in New York.
Anastas' art practice engaes with issues of public and political space, language, and questions of Palestine. She was first invited to participate in the artist-in-residence program in 2004 (she later returned to screen her project in 2006).
Anastas proposed a project that would reflect upon the Italian director Pasolini's visit to Palestine in 1962 for his film "Seeking Locations in Palestine for the Gospel According to St. Mathew". The film project she produced titled, Pasolini Pa* Palestine turns Pasolini's script into a roadmap superimposed on Palestine's current landscape, creating contradictions between the visual and the audible, the expected and the real.
