During 2020 – 2021 KARVAN received ACE funding for a project called www.knottedidentities.com

“The Karvan was a lovely installation for Rochdale Literature and Ideas Festival 2017, it created an opportunity for people to engage with an artist and to hear stories from across the globe.  The Karvan added a distinct note to festival participation and communicated that engagement is for everyone, with special moments happening in the most unique places”. Punam Ramchurn Rochdale Literature & Ideas Festival Director
