History & mission
The French humanitarian and development organization ACTED (Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development) founded Bactria Cultural Centre in Dushanbe in December 2001. Since its inception, the centre has not only facilitated the general public’s access to culture, information and vocational training in Tajikistan, it has also supported members of the artistic community who were marginalized during the social and political upheaval following the civil war. Throughout the years Bactria Culture Centre has built a network of artists, curators, music producers, managers, students and other members of the Central Asian cultural community and connected them with audiences in the region.
Artistic vision
Artists challenge the status quo, and artworks have the power to unify societies and stir intellectual discussion. Their skills and their knowledge are transmittable, connecting them to the community at large. Culture promotes analytical and critical thinking skills and it encourages creation. Its scope of influence extends far beyond the art world; it promotes diversity and develops adaptive behaviours thereby enriching society...
