In response to the immense disruptions faced by the Palestinian artistic and cultural scene, TEJA (Red de espacios culturales en apoyo a situaciones de emergencia/Network of Cultural Spaces in Support of Emergency Situations) will host six new residencies in 2025, each lasting three months, dedicated to supporting artists and cultural practitioners residing in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

During their stay in Spain, residents will receive accommodation, legal and psychological counselling, and access to a network of organisations and professionals with whom they can share, develop and continue with their creative projects. The goal is to provide a safe and stimulating environment where artists can continue their work despite adverse circumstances and generate dialogue spaces that ensure freedom of expression through joint activities both in Spain and with international collaborators.
