About CARAVAN
Transformation through the Arts
CARAVAN is an international arts NGO/non-profit dedicated to building bridges through the arts. We believe the arts can transform lives and communities. Our initiatives forge unprecedented partnerships with artists, fostering peace, harmony and wholeness.
The name "CARAVAN" reflects our mission to facilitate reframing perceptions of the “other” by journeying together through the arts. Our experience shows that the arts can deepen our understanding of each other across diverse cultures, peoples and spiritual traditions.
Our Journey
CARAVAN began in Cairo, Egypt in 2009, using the arts to address the growing discord between the Middle East and the West. Since then, we have held bridge-building exhibitions throughout the Middle East, Europe, North America, and in West Africa, with a special focus on contemporary artists of Middle Eastern/North African, Indigenous (e.g., Native American), and Black (African and Diaspora) heritage.
