WHO WE ARE?
Transforming South and Central Asian Creative Economies
HUNARMANDAN, meaning “skilled” in Persian, is a distinguished enterprise that serves as a hub for cultural and creative entrepreneurship, primarily in South and Central Asia. We focus on revitalizing and modernizing traditional crafts and artisanal work, empowering underserved communities through innovative means while respecting and preserving their rich cultural heritage. By strategically engaging with government institutions, international organizations (IGOs), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), we contribute to the development of the creative economy and industry, aligning with global standards and practices.
OUR APPROACH
A Threefold Approach to Sustainable Creativity
We foster imagination and the capacity to generate original ideas, enabling creatives to express and interpret the world through text, sound, and image. This focus allows artists and craftsmen to blend traditional skills with contemporary forms of expression, ensuring their work remains relevant and marketable.
We cultivate curiosity and a willingness to experiment, promoting innovation through problem-solving and exploration. By encouraging the integration of new technologies and scientific methods, we enhance the capabilities of our communities, allowing them to create new connections and solutions that are economically and culturally beneficial.
Our efforts are designed to build a dynamic process of innovation within technology, business practices, and marketing. We align closely with the principles of the “knowledge economy,” emphasizing investment in human capital as a key driver of sustainable and endogenous growth. This approach ensures that our creatives are not only skilled but also equipped to navigate and contribute to a competitive global economy.
