About

The Village will host an annual Arts Residency, Learning Centre and Lodge. Craftsmen, craftswomen, designers, storytellers, entrepreneurs, architects, engineers, philosophers and activists will gather to address the human dilemma in one of the challenging places on the planet. Together, they will develop solutions to living together, as Caravane provides home hospitality and experiential tourism to guests from around the world.
