Nanar is a Malmo-based arts and culture foundation that introduces Arab cultures and art to Swedish and European audiences. Besides hosting many Arab intellectuals, writers, and artists in Europe and the Arab world, Nanar also promotes Arabic art and culture in Sweden. It has a bilateral mission to promote understanding between the two worlds, raise awareness, and deliver messages of beauty and thought.

In this sense, the Aurora Biennale was created as an interchangeable artistic, literary, and cultural event that offers opportunities for direct and broad cultural exchange between Arabic and Swedish cultures. Thus, it is a comprehensive creative event that calls for integration and interaction in its highest forms regarding creativity and inspiration.
