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.

Tenderly There



Photography Exhibition
FOMU x Tashattot Takeover



FOMU (Photo Museum Antwerp) has invited Tashattot Collective to take over the museum’s first floor to present the new exhibition Tenderly There.

Through a photographic lens, Tenderly There shows how queer people in the SWANA region have positioned, explored, rethought and affirmed their love and intimacy.
The exhibition showcases archival photographs acquired from the Arab Image Foundation collection next to contemporary works by artists Jeanne et Moreau (Lara Tabet & Randa Mirza), Kader Attia, and Mohamad Abdouni. The contrast between archives and the present moment allows for a voyage through time, encapsulating daily activities and intimate moments.


Exhibition opening: March 19th at 7:45pm
Ongoing until 11 PM: Drinks and bites at the FOMU café
Address: Waalsekaai 47, 2000 Antwerpen







Find the exhibition on the FOMU website

This project is made possible with the joint efforts of FOMU and Tashattot Collective.
