Karachi ki Fruity Yaadein
Exploring Stories of Endangered Fruits
March – April 2024
The KB24 Educational Programming (Primary Schools) took place in March and April 2024. Its thematic focus was Karachi ki Fruity Yaadein which documented memories of the endangered fruits of Karachi through an intergenerational dialogue. The participating schools included St Joseph’s Convent School (Saddar), NJV Government Secondary High School (M A Jinnah Road), Indus Academy (Clifton), and Deaf Reach School (Gulistan-e-Jauhar). The students enthusiastically conducted audio and video interviews during the workshops and created drawings and paintings of the fruit which are no longer widely available. All this diverse material was creatively designed into a digital presentation.
The three-member jury members were Yasir Hussain (hybrid artist and eco-activist), Kulsoom Aftab (documentary maker and scriptwriter), and Tazeen Hussain (design educator and actor) went through the works and found the presentation by NJV students to be the most outstanding. The trophy was presented to them in a prize ceremony attended by all the participants.
