About Danka
Lahore and Karachi are cultural capitals of Pakistan
and offer a wide range of cultural activities. Alike all
the major cultural cities such as Paris, London, Berlin
or Buenos Aires, they need a strong and independent tool
to organize the communication of the cultural events in
order to inform the public and establish the essential
link between cultural life and public. Lahore and Karachi
need to develop a cultural networking spirit, i.e. active
co-operation between artists, organizers and the public
and cultural management to improve quality of the events,
their communication and their organization.
What is Danka?
First, Danka is the website (www.danka.com.pk) on which
everybody is offered to announce free of cost ongoing
events. Danka's objective is not to provide any kind
of critics or judgement on the quality of the registered
event. Our task is to get the widest range of cultural
activity registered on the site, and promote the website
amid the population by also offering a cultural picture
data base, online forums and discussions on culture
and related issues. Furthermore publications of directories
of cultural centers, cultural and historical places,
artists, etc. are planned.
Second, Danka is a networking and management effort
dedicated to assist the cultural organizers and artists
in their needs. Activities range from event management,
exchange programmes and technical assistance to consultancy
and marketing. Danka also plans to carry out own cultural
projects in the fields of theatre, dance, music, film,
poetry, recording, documentation and conservation of
art and culture. Feel free to contact the Danka Team
for any enquiry.
Our Objectives
- To be the link between artists, cultural events
organizers and the public by collecting, organizing,
providing and broadcasting free information.

of quantity and quality.

information and coordination in Lahore and Karachi
and in the future in other cities of Pakistan.
