Art Gallery
The Mamuta Project at the Mamuta Art Research Center was established in 2009 by the Sela-Manca group of independent Jerusalem-based artists. The overriding goal of the project is to advance art in all of its formats and provide a framework for artists, architects and designers who want to work together in the spirit of cooperation, dialogue and technological innovation. The management team at the Mamuta Centre describes the gallery as “a centre for artistic creation and display of art”, which is made up of a number of artists’ workspaces. Each workspace is devoted to a different form of visual art, including electronics, sound and video, but also more traditional forms of art. The Mamuta Centre is located in a well-known Jerusalem landmark, Hansen House, a tall and imposing building situated in the Talbiya neighbourhood and very close to the Jerusalem Theatre.
