Palestine
Yabous Cultural Centre is a Palestinian non-profit organization based in Jerusalem, established in 1995 by a group of artists, cultural enthusiasts and pioneers in the city. It started as Yabous Art Productions and was based in a small office in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah where it organized one of the largest Palestinian festivals in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Festival.
The center is concerned with preserving Palestinian national identity and reviving the cultural life in Jerusalem by organizing diverse and sustainable artistic and cultural programs throughout the year.
Yabous serves as a space for interaction between artists and intellectuals and promotes creativity and cultural diversity.
In 2025, the center celebrates 30 years of work in the cultural scene of Jerusalem and the accomplishments it has accrued despite the challenges and violations it has faced.
