Sponsorship & co-presentation
oppurtunities

Your participation as a sponsor or co-presenter of Here is Where We Meet will offer your organisation meaningful visibility and alignment with a high-quality, cross-disciplinary project that bridges literary, musical, and visual traditions across East and West. Your support will help create a work that fosters intercultural dialogue, attracts audiences including but not limited to those with ancestral connections to the Silk Road, and advances contemporary, sustainable, and transmedial storytelling practices. As diverse collaborators ourselves, we welcome partnerships across organisations, enabling each organisation’s strengths to contribute to a broader and more impactful audience reach.
