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. "Trees, especially tall ones like willows and plantains, serve as nests for birds. When birds build their homes in these lofty trees, they demonstrate the resilience we can muster to build our lives, no matter the challenges. My designs, inspired by the delicate willow tree leaves, embody this spirit of resilience." - Deeba
