Stove Boat Productions and the CIV team joined forces to serve as creative partners for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, to develop the content, videos and web site for "Gift of the Indus: The Arts and Culture of Pakistan"; a cultural collaboration between the Kennedy Center and the Pakistan National Council of the Arts.

As Stove Boat's web technology partner, CIV was responsible for the development of the web site's visual concept and design. Working with Stove Boat's production team, our design team built interactive multimedia galleries and features to display the wide array of Pakistani art and cultural resources available on the site.

The site was launched on September 21, 2006, at a special ceremony with First Lady of the United States Laura Bush; First Lady of Pakistan Begum Sehba Musharraf; Kennedy Center President Michael M. Kaiser and Kennedy Center Vice President for Education Darrell M. Ayers, as well as Washington-area high school students.
