“Hiwar Workshops” is an annual program by The Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts that provides mentor-ship and a space for innovative cultural discussion and creative production for emerging artists in Jordan and the region. With a focus on the collection of artworks at the National Gallery, this year, art practitioners from all backgrounds and experiences are invited to join a 4-week program of readings, discussions, and technical experimentation, followed by an exhibition.
Selected participants will work closely with art mentors in a series of workshops that will allow them a space to realize their projects and share them with the general public.
