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, collaborations, commissions and securing funding for these expatriate artists.
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. 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 revi

Gracing us with their presence:
Sary Moussa
Based between France and Lebanon, Moussa returns with a riveting electro-acoustic album informed by his ever-changing relationships to space, listening, and resonance as well as his growing interest in the study of harmonics in electronic and electro-acoustic music.
SAWT
SAWT (Arabic for Sound) is the alias of Palestinian Brussels-Based producer Kamel Badarneh. Exploring the intersections of Techno, Ambient and Experimental music, SAWT seeks to blend genres and intertwine them harmoniously.
Monstera Occulta
Monstera Occulta is a Brussels-based DJ and sound curator whose work blends post-club fragmen
tation, ambient ritualism, and diasporic resonance. Her sets construct nonlinear sonic spaces shaped by tension, affect, and deep listening — moving between incantation and confrontation, from slow burns to industrial turbulence.
Through distorted bass, glitch textures, fractured voices, and archival material, she explores memory, trance, and silence as forms of resistance. Drawing from SWANA futurism and political poetics, her practice engages sound as both a site of disruption and a mode of transmission.
