Guidelines of assistance

The Ana Houna programme supports partner organisations in part­ners in Beirut, Duhok, and Is­tan­bul and issues an open call for artists in exile. Ben­e­fi­cia­ries are cho­sen by both Fanak and the host or­gan­i­sa­tion. Support can include temporary accommodation, workspace, therapy, or funds to cover local transport. Artists can be host­ed for 3 to 6 months.

Description

Fanak Fund was launched as an in­de­pen­dent civ­il so­ci­ety ini­tia­tive in June 2019 by a group of pro­fes­sion­als working to pro­mote art and cul­ture in Eu­rope, the Arab-speak­ing world, and the wider Mid­dle East. Fanak Fund supports artists in exile near conflict zones through its programme Ana Houna, providing funds to organisations which help artists to reconnect with their peers and continue their art work.
