About Us
Art is powerful; it tells us stories we can learn from.
Let us use it to move forward.

Founded by 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.
