Cultural Networks Yemen

ROOTS OF IDENTITY: YEMENI PHOTO EXHIBITION delves into the rich fabric of Yemen's cultural heritage, exploring the intricate threads that have woven the tapestry of its identity throughout history. From traditional practices to contemporary expressions, this exhibition celebrates Yemen's diverse traditions, customs, unique architecture, and artistic practices.

As part of the “Building Togetherness” call, 18 Yemeni artists and cultural practitioners were selected by a jury composed of Yemen Creative Hubs consortium partners and external experts. Between 2024 and 2025, they implemented artistic and socio-cultural projects across Yemen. Each project reflect the essence of “Building Togetherness”—exploring the diverse ways in which culture, art, and communities come together to connect, collaborate, and create.

The project “Cultural Networks Yemen,” funded by the Federal Foreign Office, is dedicated to promoting the art and culture scene in Yemen.

The "Yemen Creative Hubs" project, funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Goethe-Institut, aims to enable cultural civil society organizations and practitioners to participate effectively in development and peace processes and to contribute to overcoming the impact of the humanitarian crisis and the sense of loss in Yemeni civil society.

The ta.dh.am photography exhibition will open on May 4, 2023, at 6 pm and will run through the end of May as part of the Image Festival Amman at Zara Expo in Amman. The works were exhibited for the first time in December 2022 at SOMA Art Space Berlin.This open call is aimed at Yemen-based photographers and artists.
