Seminars & Exhibitions 1989: Hindu Temples Shahiya period (7th to 10th century AC). In 1999 the Anjuman initiated an email discussion on Modernity & Tradition. An enthusiastic international debate ensued, which it plans to publish. An outcome of this debate was the tabling of an urban design concept for sustainable green urban communities as an answer to the urabanisation problems of Pakistan. This concept was the theme of a one-day seminar on Urban Communities in March 2000, hosted by the Lahore School of Economics. The Anjuman Mimaran and Maktaba-e-Anaveem Pakistan (MAP), People's Forum for Contextual Theologies have jointly launched an annual seminar series on 'Art & Spirituality' with the aim of deepening awareness and unity amongst the various religious traditions of our region through presenting a view of the world and of man based on a sacred manner of looking at things, and the expressions of this worldview in the various traditional arts, most directly the sacred arts.
