THE COLLECTIVE
Tashattot (Arabic for dispersion) is an art collective based in Belgium dedicated to supporting visual artists, musicians, film makers and cultural practitioners at large, originally from the SWANA region and currently “dispersed” in Europe.

The word tashattot and its English equivalents scattering/dispersion, define the collective in both the literal sense of the word (pertaining to the description of the individuals scattered around the world, far from their homelands), as well as its metaphorical sense which relates to the scattering and dispersion of ideas and ways of thinking, as the word in Arabic is oftentimes used to describe the wandering of the thoughts (tashattot al afkar or scattered thoughts).
Tashattot is a work in progress and a newly launched collective with a fluid and evolving set of actions.

Frames of Rebellion is a series of screenings and audio performances that rebel against oppressive realities and representations of resistance, and life in the SWANA region, and beyond.
The video game as a space for alternative world-building is the starting point of the exhibition. In the presented video pieces, alternative economics, politics, communities, and representations of gender are imagined by embracing, while simultaneously challenging, video game and sci-fi aesthetics.
The videos presented as part of Frames of Rebellion were curated by Charbel Alkhoury and Niloufar Nematollahi and the musical performances were selected by Rami Moukarzel and SAWT
