Activities

The talks, exhibitions, meals, concerts, and readings organized by TEJA and in collaboration with different spaces and institutions are a key element of the experience for the creators participating in the residencies. They also serve as spaces for dialogue, ensuring freedom of expression regarding the conflicts or emergency situations faced by the creators in residence or those affecting the territories they come from.

Charity Draw · Art x Palestine

The TEJA network organized the “Art x Palestine” charity raffle, an initiative where 100% of the proceeds were donated to its mobility program for artists in emergency contexts.
