Sandblast is an arts and human rights charity, working to empower the Saharawis to tell their own story, promote their culture and earn a living through the arts. The majority of the Saharawi people are forgotten refugees living in desolate camps in the harsh Algerian desert. Through our Saharawi Artist Fund we finance projects in the refugee camps to facilitate cultural/artistic expression and development, and promote collaborations between Saharawis and artists worldwide.
