#10 The Question of Funding - with Amany Khalifa by Errant Podcast

In this episode we talk with Amany Khalifa, member of the growing collective The Question of Funding that aims to rethink the economy of funding and the culture it produces in Palestine and the world. The collective was born out of informal and open encounters within the wider cultural spheres in Palestine that sought to question, debate, and find solutions to the prevalent constrictive models of international funding on which cultural Palestinian institutions continue to depend. These encounters touched on pressing issues concerning the political and economic roles of cultural work and their implications on cultural infrastructures. Central to these encounters was the recurrent and necessary question of ‘How to Work Together’, through which they now aim to bring together individuals and collectives who actively work on finding new economic structures to overcome existing ones, and to resist the physical and geographical boundaries and restrictions in Palestine, and hopefully beyond it.
