Return Path Project - a partnership between Aisha Ali Al-Juaidy representing Takween Cultural Club, and Abdel Aziz Abdel Rahman Murfaq representing Basement Cultural Foundation
Return Path is a collaborative project about the impact of the political crisis and conflicts on the cultural context in Yemen. It aims to train artists, intellectuals, and cultural activists on advocating cultural issues in two cities: Sana’a and Mukalla. The project aims to revisit the cultural experience in Yemen (after the unification of North and South Yemen in 1990 to the present) and to reexamine the main issues that affected cultural policies and marginalized culture.
