About
THE KEY, the 2016 CARAVAN Exhibition of Art, uses the world’s most ancient symbol of harmony and pluralism, the Egyptian Ankh (known as the “Key of Life”) as the canvas for a contemporary message of hope for a harmonious, peaceful and tolerant world. The exhibition showcases the work of 40 premier and emerging Egyptian, Middle Eastern and Western contemporary artists using a modern three-dimensional fiberglass portrayal (1.15 meter in height) of the Ankh, an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic that read “life”. Through the exhibition the participating artists are focusing on engendering harmony and peace among people of different nationalities, cultural heritages and faith backgrounds so that we can all coexist and benefit from our diversity.
