Dar Khalid
The building which was built in the 1920s, was once lived in by Sheikh Fouad al Khateeb, poet and for a time advisor at the Court of King Abdullah. Later, in the mid 1950s, it was inhabited by Prime Minister Suleiman Nabulsi. In 1995 it was restored to serve as quarters and studios for visiting artists. In 2002, the house was dedicated to the memory and legacy of Darat al Funun’s patron Khalid Shoman and named Dar Khalid.
HIWAR - Conversations in Amman is an exhibition, residencies, and talks program organized by Darat al Funun to celebrate 25 years of support for the arts. HIWAR brought 14 artists from the Arab world, Africa, Asia, and Latin America to Amman for residencies in September and October 2013, culminating in an exhibition in dialogue with works from The Khalid Shoman Collection.
