Sakiya – Art | Science | Agriculture, established by Nida Sinnokrot and Sahar Qawasmi (2012-present) is an academy, residency program, research hub, and farm located in Rinkinia, a small agricultural village seven kilometres west of Ramallah in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory. Sakiya operates in an area where most open spaces and natural resources are prohibited for Palestinian use due to restrictions of Israeli civil and security control. By grafting local traditions of self-sufficiency onto contemporary art and ecological practices, Sakiya seeks to create new narratives around relationships to land, knowledge, production, and commoning. The work prioritizes collaboration with local communities, using art and sustainable practices to confront socio‑political and environmental instability.
