About Us

Formed in 2000, IRC employs a variety of interactive community tools such as interactive/forum theatre, documentary films, citizen journalism, radio broadcasting, and digital storytelling to create awareness and advocacy opportunities.

In addition to utilising these various tools, IRC has also developed unique platforms to further its objectives such as our annual Interactive Theatre Festival, Vasakh International Film Festival, Satire Fest Festival, and it has also created a web-based interactive video site aimed at creating an alternative narrative of Pakistan.

Our Mission

IRC aims to strengthen the process of social development by promoting the ideas of climate justice, civic engagement, gender equality, and religious tolerance.

Our Vision

IRC strives to empower communities through climate justice, gender equality, and civic engagement, fostering social transformation. We aim to revive traditional performing arts by creating a nationwide network of community-based theatre groups.
