Karachi LaJamia
Karachi LaJamia was founded in 2015 by artists Shahana Rajani and Zahra Malkani as a nomadic space, moving outside institutions, to collectively explore new radical pedagogies and art practices. Since 2015, we have facilitated a series of site-specific courses and collaborative research projects to explore the intersections of militarism, land accumulation, climate crisis, indigenous dispossession, and knowledge production in Karachi. Our courses occupy public spaces in the city as sites of study, disrupting imperial modes of knowledge production and circulation. We work closely with local organizations and activists to build solidarity with ongoing struggles in the city.
