After the tragic Gulshan-e-Iqbal park incident, the Wall of Tolerance is an initiative taken by a group of young Lahoris to fight the extremist mindset through art. The group painted messages of peace on the walls of Gulshan-e-Iqbal park, in order to counter the growing negativity through some positive art — and make Lahore a little brighter after the tragedy. We are extremely proud of these young painters and applaud them in their efforts to spread a message of peace.
