CiV joined forces with Stove Boat Productions and 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. Our design team built interactive multimedia galleries including custom Flash audio and video libraries to display the wide array of Pakistani art and cultural resources available on the site.
In addition to information on the geography and people of Pakistan, the site offers information on Culture & Daily Life and a homepage Flash-based slideshow which highlights specific resources on the website.
The site was launched 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 D.C.-area high school students.
The CiV team developed the overall online approach, created the interactive applications, and performed the Flash and graphic design work for this site. The client currently maintains the site.
