The name “hal:hab” is a fusion of two elements: “hal” and “hab.” “Hal” is derived from the concept of a wholesale market in Turkish, traditionally associated with male dominance. By incorporating “hal” into our name, we aim to challenge gender norms and create an inclusive space that defies geographical boundaries.
The word “hab” carries significance as it means “breath” in Arabic. It represents the essence of life, energy, and the collective spirit that drives us forward. It symbolizes our commitment to breathe new life into communities, foster positive change, and empower individuals. It is also the way to pronounce “hub” in Turkish.
Together hal:hab is a unique, new generation, limitless art & artisan hub, which serves as a breath to whomever may need.
