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.

After years of living as a refugee in Iran, Khorshid returned to Afghanistan, determined to rebuild her life. She found her path at Zindagi Now, where she trained and grew into a talented craftswoman. Today, Khorshid proudly creates jewellery that blends Afghan tradition with modern design. “Working with Zindagi Now has given me confidence and independence - I feel proud that my work carries the story of Afghanistan to the world,” she says.
