Highlight Arts aims to make space for meaningful encounters between various artistic communities through residencies, workshops and labs, new translations, gatherings and collaborations. We want to make sure that artists, art collectives and organisations from Scotland, the UK and the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), are able to share knowledge and resources, build solidarity, find ways to resist (their own and each other’s) hostile environment and make sure that our narratives are supported, amplified and celebrated.
