Knowledge production and research are the key pillars behind Dar Jacir. Workshops, seminars and master classes are conducted to facilitate the circulation of creative and intellectual endeavors across a range of disciplines and media in particular art and cinema. Our residency program offers an opportunity for visiting international and local artists and scholars to live and work in Dar Jacir. Our mission includes reactivating the links between Bethlehem and her community in Latin America with a special focus on exchange with the half million Bethlehemites living in Santiago, Chile. In addition, Dar Jacir houses a research center devoted to our Ottoman archives a vast collection of rare visual and textual material from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the future, we plan on hosting scholars in Ottoman studies from around the world in addition to artists, academics, musicians and filmmakers to use these archives. We work in partnership with local and international organizations to disseminate and share programming to the widest possible audience.
