Karachi LaJamia

Karachi LaJamia was founded in 2015 by artists Zahra Malkani and Shahana Rajani as a nomadic space moving outside the institution to collectively explore new radical pedagogies and art practices. Since 2015, they have facilitated a series of site-specific courses and collaborative research projects to explore the intersections of militarism, climate crisis, indigenous dispossession, and knowledge production in Karachi. Their courses are developed in close collaboration with local organisations and activists to build solidarity with ongoing struggles around land, water and development in the city.
