Let The Beauty We Love Be What We Do -- A 35-minute film produced by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture was presented in conjunction with Bridges that Unite on Wednesday June 18, 2008 at 12:00pm.

Witness ancient villages and historic cities restored; abandoned monuments given new life; old skills relearned and new discoveries made; economically depressed communities revived; music and verse once forgotten performed again, and masterpieces of Islamic art on display for the first time.
BRIDGES THAT UNITE exhibition was in Vancouver from June 11-22, 2008 at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews.
