Kahlil Gibran

A CARAVAN peacebuilding touring exhibition inspired by the universal message of peace and harmony found in Kahlil Gibran’s poetry, writing and art, such as in his best-selling book The Prophet, which celebrates its 95th publishing anniversary this year.

The exhibition visually highlights how Kahlil Gibran, a supreme East-West figure, can be an unparalleled guide for our times, related to peace, harmony and the building of bridges between the creeds and cultures of the Middle East and West.

Featuring over 35 acclaimed contemporary artists from the Middle East, the exhibition is co-curated by Janet Rady and Marion Fromlet Baecker. CARAVAN previously held similar exhibitions inspired by Kahlil Gibran with acclaimed artists in Bahrain and Egypt in the spring of 2018. The two exhibitions, together with a selection of work from new artists, comes together for this larger exhibition at Sotheby’s.
