Over the past two years, AFSC held two convenings, in Casablanca, Morocco (June 2022), and in Amman, Jordan (January 2023), focused on this topic, “The Power of Cultural Organizing in the MENA Region: A Dialogue and Exchange for Artists and Activists.” A research report, content from the in-person convenings, podcasts, and other related materials are organized here.
