Khashabi works towards a Palestinian society that freely practices art and creativity as a natural right, and strives to renew its cultural identity by placing independent culture front and centre, and provides a space for artists to freely experiment, create, research and perform alternative forms of theatre and art, and space where social, political and artistic taboos can be challenged, creating an invigorating creative environment based on cooperation and mutual support.
