Caravan

Encouraging East and West, Muslims and Christians, to journey together through the Arts

The Arts can serve as one of the most effective mediums to build bridges of respect, understanding, sharing and friendship between East and West, Muslims and Christians. Therefore, Caravan was started by Paul-Gordon Chandler as an informal catalyst to explore and encourage the interplay between Faith and the Arts—and more specifically within the context of interfaith, encouraging Muslims and Christians to journey together through the Arts…thereby seeing the Arts used to facilitate intercultural and inter-religious dialogue.

The Caravan initiative entails developing creative opportunities that highlight Faith and the Arts that bring together Christians and Muslims….from holding exhibitions, seminars, lectures, exchanges, serving as a patron, etc.

Additionally, through these various art programs, the desire is to also encourage the development of local art (traditional and contemporary) in the Middle East and North Africa.

Within the various programs, there is a charitable component that seeks to serve toward bringing hope and healing to individuals that are in need (economically, socially, physically) within the Middle East and North Africa.
