Caravanserai
Caravanserai: A place where cultures meet creates new pathways for Americans to experience the diversity of contemporary Muslim cultures by introducing U.S. audiences to exciting and dynamic artists from the Muslim world. The name "Caravanserai" evokes the roadside inns in the Far East where caravan travelers would gather after a long day’s journey through the desert heat. At night, the caravanserais were safe-havens, cheerful resting spots for the sharing of news, companionship, and entertainment. Caravanserai: A place where cultures meet creates a modern caravan to experience and enjoy artists from the Muslim world. Caravanserai: A place where cultures meet is produced by Arts Midwest on behalf of the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations with leadership support from the Building Bridges Program of the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art. Caravanserai’s film and media programming is coordinated on behalf of the program by South Arts.Turkey, 2013/2014 Focus
