HerMaP Art Projects

The project consisted of creative support and technical assistance to develop the HerMap Art Projects residency in an online context. The program proposed an artistic dialogues focusing on cultural ties between Iran and Europe. The residency took place in two editions between 2019 and 2022. In the first phase, 12 artists collaborated with local agents to reflect upon Iran's industrial heritage and living archives. This exploration resulted in the creation of seven original works specifically designed for the digital medium. As a culmination of the project, a physical exhibition showcasing the projects was held at the BOZAR cultural center in Brussels. During the second phase, 14 artists delved into Iran's intangible heritage, particularly focusing on poetry and musical expressions. They presented 10 new artworks as a result of their research and creative process.
