About Us
Art is powerful; it tells us stories we can learn from.
Let us use it to move forward.
Since 2020, Art Forward has produced numerous international projects and exhibitions across UK, Europe and the Middle East. Founded by Nathalie Chace and Yamam Nabeel, the Art Forward team devise and produce projects that share global stories and platform voices that may otherwise be silenced, building a dialogue that transcends cultural, religious, and geographical differences.
