We are commissioning diverse digital artists to create up to 2 new digital art pieces on the theme ‘Re-imagining Freedom – Space to Reflect: An artistic collaboration with Pakistan and the UK’ which will be showcased nationally and internationally. The artists will create content involving freedom, identity, displacement, forced migration, political challenges, love, belonging etc. The project will support artists to develop their reach, creativity, and leadership. Under the New Perspective theme, we are planning 2 international workshop (in Pakistan and the UK) and 5-6 mentoring sessions every 2 months. Both the workshops will have masterclasses by industry experts to ensure that the artists are supported and have their creative wisdom. Through these workshops artists will get an insight on film (pre-production, production, and post production) and art making. Artists from both the countries will gain insight into each other’s creative industries, and benefit mutually from transnational perspectives whilst building bridges between UKAFF and IVS.
