Qalandiya International (Qi) is a collaboration between the most prominent cultural institutions in Palestine focusing on contemporary art. This unique art coalition is an attempt to pool resources and work collectively towards showcasing and promoting contemporary culture in Palestine both locally and internationally. This is Palestine’s most daring and most promising cultural statement on the global stage.

Archives Lived and Shared
Through the activities of artists, writers, thinkers and curators, Qi aims to begin a process of re-writing histories through reflection and questioning in which archives are not perceived as a repository of knowledge but as a tool for us all to shape our understanding and relationships to our pasts, the present and our shared futures as embodied in practices of daily life. We start through movement, crisscrossing the landscape, with all the challenges such ventures entail with exhibitions, talks and interventions, to begin a process in which archives are opened up to become a lived and shared experience.
