We are delighted to announce the launch of Zajal Movement, a project by Tales of Jordan and part of the Emerging Art Projects by Factory – The Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.

This project contains three programs that will commence starting November 2021 and continue throughout 2022 at the premises of the Jordan National Gallery:

1. Elements Jam: A monthly event open to the public that brings together youth for artistic and creative competition, inspired by the hip hop culture in Jordan. The Jam includes freestyle dance and beat-box battles, as well as showcases of DJing, rap, and graffiti.

2- Sadeem Dance and Music: A weekly symposium that invites emerging dancers and musicians to participate in improvisational sessions, mentored by professional artists. These sessions culminate in monthly performances and discussions open to the public. In collaboration with Midan: Amman Dance Lab.

3- Tales of Zajal Movement: A gallery exhibition that tells the story of hip hop culture in Jordan, from its inception to the present day. The exhibition will curate and showcase visual, audio, performance, and documentary elements, in addition to the artistic manifestations of “Zajal Movement” programs. The exhibition will be held in September and October 2022.
