i understand that it is difficult to start when the first step is difficult to find. i recommend you visit Makan's website (www.makanhouse.net). This is an organization in Amman that has a mission of connecting artists to each other, locally and globally.
The project I am working on involves contemporary art as a tool to express a certain issue, this year the focus is the identity/identities of Amman, capital of Jordan. I am still working out its details, but Questler members would definitely know about it and maybe some would participate.
