Yemen Used To Be

A youth-led art initiative that aims to alter stereotypes, misconceptions, and Yemen's negative image. Through our platform, we direct our efforts in recollecting, illustrating, and telling stories about the culture and heritage of past Yemen.

With a group of Yemeni talented volunteers, we adopt various digital art mediums in Arabic and English to reach a wider audience and educate them about Yemen. Furthermore, we aim to go beyond social media's framework by presenting content on the ground through various exhibitions, events, and seminars on a local and international level as a means to revive and preserve the Yemeni Heritage.
