Join us for the prestigious Spirit of Birmingham Launch Event, a captivating evening to inaugurate the Spirit of Pakistan Festival. Begin with an exclusive drinks reception, followed by a delightful dinner.
The highlight of the evening will be "Waqt: Pakistan in Motion," a powerful dance and multi-disciplinary performance. This extract, conceived and directed by Mukhtar Dar, takes you on a choreographed journey through the poetic, political, and cultural history of Pakistan and its vibrant diaspora in Birmingham. From ancient origins to the significant contributions of the 200,000-strong Pakistani and Kashmiri community—Birmingham’s largest ethnic minority—this performance reclaims narratives and celebrates a rich living legacy.
Hear inspiring speeches from the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, the High Commissioner for Pakistan to the UK, and other esteemed guests. This event promises to be an unforgettable celebration of heritage, community, and artistic expression.
