In parallel, Tohme launched The Home Workspace Program, a 10-month arts study program that enrolls 10-15 fellows per year, open to artists and cultural practitioners from Lebanon and the world over to develop their formal, technical and theoretical skills in a critical setting.
Moreover, it aims to include a wide range of practitioners and guest teachers, all the while addressing geopolitical particularities, and existing conditions in art and the educational landscape.
The biennial unfolded in five parts, from October 2016 to October 2017, and included exhibitions and a public program in two acts in Sharjah and Beirut; a year-long education program in Sharjah; off-site projects in Dakar, Istanbul, Ramallah and Beirut; and an online publishing platform, tamawuj.org.
Tohme is also on the boards of Marsa, a sexual health centre in Beirut that provides specialized medical services for at-risk youth and marginalised communities, Afterall: A Journal of Art, Context and Enquiry, and Haven for Artists, a Beirut-based non-governmental organization and arts collective.
In recognition of her achievements in supporting local art production and criticism, Tohme has received the Prince Claus Award (2006), CCS Bard Audrey Irmas Award for Curatorial Excellence (2015), UNESCO-Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture (2018),[4] and La Medaille de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres au grade du Chevalier by the French Ministry of Culture (2021).
