360°

Britain India Pakistan

2007-2010

A three-year programme of cultural explorations

360° is a three-year programme of exchanges that will bring to light a rounded and contemporary picture of the cultural dynamics between Britain, India and Pakistan. Sixty films, several international artist’s residencies, numerous publications and a new collaboration will bring artists together, to excite imaginations and explore the role that art can play in shaping communication and insight, across boundaries of culture and geography.

Artists specialising in new media, from India and Pakistan, are appointed as Creative Associates, to act as curators, mentors and producers. They will be called upon to build alliances and open up possibilities for intercultural dialogue and engagement.

60x60 Secs, the first project of the programme, was launched on the 4th of June 2008 at the Shunt Lounge in London.

60x60 Secs presents 60 one-minute film commissions by sixty artists living in Britain, India and Pakistan, who define themselves as coming from the South Asian Diaspora. Both established and emerging artists, working in a variety of mediums and spanning a wide age range, present their unique views on identity in an age of globalisation.
