1. Bio
The Young Arab Theater Fund (YATF) is an international organisation designed to serve independent young artists living and working in the Arab World. The long term goal is to encourage the sustainability of the independent artistic scene in the Arab World and to nurture and sustain its development.
YATF was founded to meet the increasing demands of the independent artists throughout the region who are embracing a new artistic sensibility and developing a cultural space conducive to creativity and critical engagement with their socio-political circumstances.
YATF works through different programs - productions, touring and arts spaces - which are designed to meet the needs of young artists.
YATF is an international Association based in Brussels, registered and working under the Belgian law.
