Support ArteEast's Mission!
At ArteEast, we are grateful for your support, which will enable our organization to continue its crucial mission of amplifying the voices of artists and filmmakers from the South West and North African (SWANA) region and its diaspora. This support helps bring these important, yet underrepresented, voices to the forefront of global consciousness, offering a more accurate depiction of the realities of the Middle East and North Africa.
Your donation – no matter the amount – will make a difference!
Through our monthly film programs and critical dialogues, we uphold our commitment to providing a more nuanced understanding of the region, challenging mainstream narratives, and disrupting stereotypes.
Here are a few highlights from this year's film programs:
** VOICES OF IRAQ: A selection of films produced by SADA and the Independent Film & Television College, two grassroots initiatives founded by independent Iraqi artists with the common goal of empowering Iraqis to shape their own stories, providing important narratives missing from mainstream media coverage of the Iraq War.
** THE FUTURE THAT AWAITS: Offering nuanced insights into the lives of Afghan youth, otherwise unknown to the Western world.
** UN/BELONGING: Intimate tales from North African immigrants that break the Arab stereotype, including Dina Amer's "You Resemble Me," which delves deep into the struggles of a French Muslim woman in search of identity and belonging.
** WHO WE ARE: An Arab Film Series program showcasing an award-winning collection of short films highlighting diverse stories of Queer Arabs around the globe.
** PALESTINIAN VOICES: We have partnered with the Arab Film and Media Institute to present a selection of films offering insights and perspectives related to Palestine’s struggle for freedom and liberation.
With your contributions, ArteEast is able to make our programs accessible and free to all.
