| Bactria Cultural Centre, as the cultural actor of ACTED’s activities, is fully devoted to provide access to information and to vocational training. Educational activities aimed at artists and art professionals are organized with the firm belief that an understanding of national identity as well as social changes and development can originate from active participants of society. The role of an artist is, and always has been, the observer, the analyzer, and the initiator. |

Davlat Nazri
Davlat Nazri is a multi-instrumentalist, who can move between string, wind and percussion instruments at ease, accompanied by his distinct and powerful singing. He draws inspiration from his home region Darvaz and named his family band Navoi Darvoz. As the tradition of playing music was passed down to Davlat from his father, Abdulloh Nazri, Davlat’s children, as part of his music group, have already been introduced to professional performing.
Besides playing traditional Tajik folk music, Davlat has been experimenting with melodies and musical instruments of other cultures, from Iran, India, Afghanistan, to European rhythms.

As a result of the continuous degradation of Tajik educational structure, from a unified primary and secondary education under the Soviets, barely 60 percent of Tajikistan’s current school-age population is receiving educational opportunities. Through opportunities for learning and vocational training BACTRIA aims at democratizing access to information and education. |
