About the Mamuta Project

The Mamuta Project at the Daniela Passal Art & Media Center is a center for artistic creation, encounters, research, and display of art. The Center is comprised of artists’ workspaces; video, sound, and electronics labs; guest apartments; and a wood, metal, and plastics workshop. The goal of the project is to advance individual art projects and to create a forum for artists from different media, as well as curators, architects, designers, and researchers, who wish to create in the spirit of cooperation, dialogue, and technological innovation.

Mamuta at the Daniela Passal Art & Media Center offers guidance and support for the development of its artists’ individual projects, and initiates and produces projects at the Center (El-Dan House, Ein Kerem) as well as at other sites in and outside of Jerusalem—in cooperation with institutions and individuals in Israel and abroad. The project is dedicated to creating conditions for developing an active community of artists, allowing for personal development alongside collaborative work, through an engagement with the place and time.

Mamuta is a collaborative project of Sala-Manca Group and the Jerusalem Foundation
