In the age of new cinema in Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lacks a

EXCHANGE PROGRAM

of human civilization can be found everywhere, in all corners of the land.

Themajor archaeological sitesin Khyber Pakhtunkhwa every year attract

hundreds of thousands of visitors. People from all over the world come to
see the Archaeological site.

Involving communities in promoting the Archaeological & Cultural

Exchange Program as a mechanism for encouraging social change and
increasing awareness of challenging social issues.

THE FASCINATING SECOND LIFE OF FOUND OR

RECYCLED OBJECTS (JOINT VENTURE).

Several artists in different countries working with recycled material.

This project idea is to develop a fusion of the possibilities that all these
artists can offer.

Working with International artists can also be a very inspiring path to

follow.

Partners can be individuals or small organizations who are working in

different fields but with the common fact that they work with recycled
material to transform their emotions.

FREE ART LIFE: EXPLORING INTERACTION BETWEEN

ART AND URBAN SPACES - ART CULTURE & SOCIETY

Art, Culture & Society is a global media platform and a creative

movement.

We consider art and culture to be vital for a democratic society.

The idea would be to explore how art and urban spaces interact and to
emphasize the importance of having a free art life.

We live in more conservative times and we believe that it's important to

use the freedom that art can inspire to in everyday life.

DIGITAL ARTISTS, CONVERTING THE CULTURAL

HERITAGE OF PAKISTAN CHINA INTO DIGITAL ERA

This will be our first time to Digitalize the Cultural Heritage

To expand our current explorations into the expanding world of Digital

Art.

However, as it is still such a new and evolving area of visual arts, we feel
it would be of huge benefit to Pakistani & Chines Digital Artists to have
the opportunity to work, talk and communicate with Digital Artists, both
physically and through the medium of a digital online hub.

The project idea is to develop a partnership that will work together to

create a research, residency and exhibition project, that will take place
between the partners and will lead towards the development of a shared
online resource through which Pakistani & Chines Digital Artists can
communicate and develop ideas and collaboration opportunities.

This platform will leads to establishing a Digital Hub interconnecting all

initiatives.

INNOVATION IN DESIGN PRODUCTION THROUGH

CRAFTS
Innovation in design production through crafts.

Crafts has always been a stimulator for economic and cultural

innovation and their products are significant in shaping the cultural and
economic heritage.

Due to the fast changing society however, innovation nowadays

happens mostly through science and global mass production, with the
disappearance of craft knowledge in Pakistan as a consequence.

The purpose of the project is to create a platform between Pakistan and

China to stimulate the (new) crafts and creative industries in order to
generate economic innovation through a sustainable (cultural,
economic, social, educational, ecological) and holistic view upon design.

ARRANGING CULTURE AND TRADE MEGA-EXPOS

Trade & Cultural Expos to be held in both countries.

Chinese businessman can benefit from the different Flaghsip

Projects initiated by the provincial govt.

of energy, tourism & agriculture.

Productive Cities.

capacity of people and region.
