The Mamuta Art and Research Center is a center for artistic creation, encounters, research, and display of art. Mamuta is an artist’s run space, developed and directed by the Sala-Manca Group. The goal of the project is to advance art projects and to create a framework 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 offers guidance and support for the development of its artists’ individual projects, and fosters collective initiatives through the artists in residency program. Mamuta has initiated and produced projects at the art center as well as in other venues or public spaces—in cooperation with other institutions and communities in Israel and abroad.
Mamuta 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.
