US and Pakistani Artists Exhibition

US Ambassador Richard Olson praised the collaborative work of US and Pakistani artists at the opening of an exhibition at a local hotel.

The exhibition entitled, “What Remains are Children’s Lullabies,” features the artwork of two US and four Pakistani artists who collaborated over the course of a year to create a series of images exploring women’s rights and cultural identity. “Building cultural ties create mutual understanding and enhanced productive dialogue and enables inspiring collaboration,” said Ambassador Olson.

Ambassador Olson emphasized the US government commitment to strengthening people-to-people ties between the United States and Pakistan. The US Embassy has established the largest cultural and exchange program anywhere in the world, and sends nearly 1,000 Pakistanis to the United States every year on cultural, academic, and professional exchanges.
