Breaking the Box

Breaking the Box is a non-profit initiative to promote arts and letters in South Asia

We believe in shattering the proverbial box
so our ideas are not confined

We believe that a lot of South Asians get surrounded by rigid mindsets that curb their ability to ask questions and let their imagination run wild. When a kid in India or Pakistan asks a thought-provoking question, he is more likely to get a slap in the face than encouragement to explore further. It is unfortunate, but not unavoidable.

We celeberate inquisitiveness and curiosity.
