A short documentary to explore the perception of Islam as a civilization and culture through contemporary art and artists influenced by eastern culture in Europe.

Through its Belief in dialogue project, the British Council is developing initiatives to tackle current issues around cultural diversity, challenging misunderstandings and misconceptions of different communities. Acknowledging the complex identities which form our pluralistic societies, Belief in Dialogue is exploring how to develop engagement for better global citizenship, help widening participation and building trust.
