Next Generation is a platform for Afghan jewellers from our initiative Zindagi Now and men's and women's businesses supported through Arts Charity Turquoise Mountain to show and sell their work. Their designs draw on their cultural heritage, material design culture, and their own personal experiences. Supporting and treasuring this work will have a huge impact and bring visibility, independence, and joy to the lives of women and men of Afghanistan facing economic and social challenges. "During my time as a refugee in Peshawar, I was unable to experience the beauty of my homeland and its craftsmanship. Today, I stand as a proud Afghan jeweller, creating exquisite designs for people around the world." - Salma
