ARTLAB, based in Palestine, began as an experiment among artists and professionals who wanted to share a common workspace and develop new pathways of communication for creative exchange. It was designed to benefit not only each member, but also to promote an appreciation of art and culture throughout Jerusalem. Through the participation in the activities held by the lab and inspired by its outputs, stereotypes are being challenged and the local and international community is actively invested in a cultural debate designed to open minds and encourage individual expression. Since 2008 ARTLAB’s professionals have been working with Palestinian youth in East Jerusalem providing training in visual storytelling and guiding them through a variety of audiovisual productions..
