The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is a professionally managed, non-profit organization set up in 1995 in Karachi by a group of citizens who wanted to bring about positive social change through education. Twenty two years on, TCF is one of Pakistan’s leading and award-winning organizations for the education of less privileged communities. The Italian Friends of The Citizens Foundation (IFTCF) in Milan presents this first ever group exhibition “Art for Education” showcasing 60 Pakistani artists, internationally acclaimed and talented emerging, who have all donated their artworks in support of quality secular education for disadvantaged children in Pakistan.
Held at a prestigious museum in Milan, this groundbreaking show is curated by two renowned South Asian art writers and specialists Salima Hashmi and Rosa Maria Falvo. Few intitiatives in the contemporary art world engage the direct relationship between art and education. And fewer still celebrate the status and power of both fields to address and stimulate positive change for global issues such as gender, geopolitics, ethnicity and social responsibility. In this exhibition art is truly at the service of education, and education is the tool used by art, through artists and their audiences, to cultivate the hearts and minds of two very different realities.
