In 2002, a group of seven artists established the first contemporary art space in Gaza, aiming to nurture young talents. The arts scene faced challenges post-Hamas takeover, but resilience persisted.
Restrictions in Gaza prompted artists to establish visual arts spaces like Shababeek. Financial instability was prevalent as artists juggled day jobs with their artistic pursuits.
Al-Aqsa University and art spaces like Eltiqa, Shababeek remained pillars of Gaza's art scene. However, conflict led to destruction of many cultural institutions, impacting artists' livelihoods.
