Wijhat (Destinations) Mobility Grant
About
The Wijhat (Destinations) program, managed by Culture Resource, is designed to support the mobility of artists and cultural actors from the Arab region. Recognizing the financial and logistical challenges of international travel, the program provides funding for professionals to travel within the Arab region or internationally for career-enhancing opportunities. This includes participation in festivals, residencies, conferences, workshops, and artistic fairs.
The program aims to promote cultural exchange, increase the exposure of Arab artistic production to global audiences, and foster networking between artists and international cultural organizations. By removing barriers to travel, Wijhat enables grantees to develop their creative skills, find new partners, and share their expertise across borders.
