Building upon its extensive experience in the visual arts sector, KSCC is expanding its ‘Visual Arts Program’ to promote research-based visual arts initiatives. This program is based on a process-oriented approach that places importance on artistic query, research, and engagement. It targets young, mid-career, and established artists, both Palestinian and international. It invites artists, often together with academics, researchers and art practitioners, to engage in artworks in the form of artistic research around critical social, political, and cultural questions.

The Literature Program offers space for Palestinian writers to discover, develop and express themselves through exposure to diverse literary experiences and literary audiences. This program capitalizes upon the center’s symbolic linkage to two significant figures in the field of literature in Palestine – Mahmoud Darwish and Khalil Sakakini; to encourage and stimulate the Palestinian literature production.

The ‘In-Reach’ Program is the heart of the Center, linking it directly to the community through offering a fully equipped space and the expertise of the staff to organize public arts and culture events for individuals, groups, and collectives. Since 2016, as part of this program, KSCC partnered with a wide range of organizations and groups.

The ‘Land Program’ is inspired by several artistic initiatives that have been curated over the past few years through KSCC. It seeks to employ the garden of the Center as part of its cultural movement. This program invites artists and practitioners of other disciplines, including anthropologists, historians, architects, cultural theorists, to engage in experimental pioneering projects based on earth as a medium for artistic expression and questioning.
