The Great African Caravan

The Great African Caravan is the first major travel project by the Art Caravan Association. 12 International artists from all around the globe (India, Argentina, Britain, Uganda, Germany, The Netherlands and Kosovo) will travel through 12 African countries in 7 months. The adventurous journey will start in July 2018 in South Africa and continue through Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi,Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Sudan to end in Egypt in February 2019. Throughout the journey, the artists will work with local humanitarian organisations, youth groups, and artists as well as governmental bodies, cultural entities, and similar institutions to connect, strategise, design novel solutions for local challenges, and build awareness on SDGs with the broader aim of contributing to peace, global citizenship, and sustainable social change. In each country a specific Sustainable Development Goal we will be collaboratively worked on using art as a holistic, inspiring, and empowering tool. Workshops, dialogue creation, and art works will aim to raise awareness, offer sustainable tools for problem solving and peace building, and spread the spirit of interconnectedness, peace, and global citizenship. Individual projects as well as a documentary of the entire journey will additionally, each in their beautifully individual way, inspire, excite, and spread the mission of a better world. It will furthermore provide material to bring awareness, spark discussions, and increase participation regarding important topics such as migration, borders, peace, environment, and human rights.
