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 collective aims at creating opportunities and collaborations for these expatriate artists.
Through residencies, exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and public discussions, Tashattot supports artists in continuing their practices and connecting with local and international scenes.
Tashattot is a work in progress with a fluid and evolving set of actions. It currently is and will always remain open to new ideas and experiences; continuously building on lessons learned and with practice. The collective strongly believes in the efficiency of open discussions, as the only way to grow and better address SWANA expat artists needs and aspirations, it therefore remains open to reviews, critiques, evaluations or any opinions related to its mechanisms.

Maltash (Joseph Jadam) is a Lebanese musician based in Brussels. He explores the fusion between traditional Arabic music, North African pop, and darker genres such as psychedelic rock, stoner, darkwave, and industrial music. His art reflects a commitment to blending his cultural roots with dark and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a space where familiar melodies meet rough and experimental tones.
GHADR (LB)
On Ghadr, Sandy Chamoun, Anthony Sahyoun and Jad Atoui play with chaos. Built on group improvisation, surges of coruscating electronics and distortion meld with vocals that, while stemming from a background in classical Arabic singing, seek to reroute tradition.
PROSTITUTE (USA)
Formed in 2020 in Dearborn, Michigan, Prostitute is an experimental post-punk and Arab rock band. The band’s debut album, Attempted Martyr, was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence, greed, and lust.
This project is made possible with the joint efforts of Pilar and Tashattot Collective.
