Nuwa - meaning nucleus or core in Arabic - is a creative hub for independent artists in Palestine who use culture as a form of resistance.
Fuel for a fearless artistic community, Nuwa is a space to enhance and exchange skills, access critical resources, and share funding opportunities.
This self-driven ecosystem aims to build cultural resilience, fortify creative autonomy, and strengthen the support networks for those on the frontlines of attacks and censorship.
Co-founded & co-directed by Yasmin Shalaldeh and Zoe Lafferty.
نوى هي مركز إبداعي للفنانين المستقلين في فلسطين.
يركز المركز على تعزيز نظام الدعم لأولئك الذين يستخدمون الثقافة كشكل من أشكال المقاومة، وهو مساحة للتواصل وتعزيز وتبادل المهارات والوصول إلى الموارد الهامة ومشاركة فرص التمويل.
يهدف هذا النظام الإيكولوجي الذي يعتمد على الذات إلى بناء المرونة الثقافية وتحصين الاستقلالية الإبداعية لأولئك الذين يقفون على خط المواجهة في مواجهة الهجمات والرقابة.
شارك في تأسيسها وإدارتها ياسمين شلالدة وزوي لافيرتي.
