TEFAF Charities – Prince Claus Fund ~ For over a decade TEFAF has been supporting the Cultural Emergency Response (CER) programme ran by the @princeclausfund, which seeks to preserve cultural heritage and rescue collections in need. Conserving an ancient watch tower in Sichuan, China, to safeguarding museum collections in Sudan, TEFAF and the Prince Claus Fund have worked together to save cultural heritage that would otherwise have been lost. ~ According to the Prince Claus Fund’s Director Joumana El Zein Khoury: “Support for cultural expression and protecting cultural heritage are more important now than ever. The world is changing very fast and people need art to help them understand and deal with those changes. TEFAF understands the essential importance of art. We greatly appreciate their support and our collaboration.” ~ Sudan Our latest collaboration supported three community museums in Sudan. The museums are home to important artefacts, handicrafts and documents that date back to the end of the Ottoman Empire, as well as the founding of the Sudanese nation. They also have a strong ethnographic component that highlight local cultures and act as hubs for educational activities and cultural festivals for refugees in Western Sudan as well as various local communities. ~ #TEFAF #TEFAFCharities #TEFAF #PrinceClausFund #Support #culture #culturalprogram #art #essential #projects #culturalproject #culturalsupport #sudan #communitymuseums #museum
