Mission and Objectives

ha’atelier develops an international artistic and theoretical “encyclopedia of the diaspora”. Its investigations and topics are not bound by national, ethnic, religious or other territorial belongings and focus rather on the interface of various phenomena of human creativity and expression in between institutional and public spaces. The workshop’s encyclopedic curriculum offers special attention to cosmopolitan Jewish and Islamic traditions. Depending on the thematic perspective, staff of faculty, and a given cultural landscape at hand, ha’atelier concentrically embodies and documents ever renewed facets of artistic and theoretical thinking in various locations in the world. In this way ha’atelier functions as a nomadic structure, whose “flying faculty” comprises an international team of scholars, writers, artists and free agents of culture and public discourse.
