| Summary / Abstract (Note) | One April day in 2013, six artists got together and envisioned Karachi as they would like to see it, in place of the crumbling, violent megacity at their doorstep. Months later, in November, the team brought to their city a three-day explosion of street art, theatre, discussions, documentary screenings, exhibitions and live music under the the Pursukoon Karachi Festival. For a lasting effect, the festival launched its ultimate undertaking - renovating the Karachi Cantonment Railway Station. |
