To Karachi With Love by D.U.C.K

The photography exhibition at the second floor started from the 1st week of March and continued till 17th March. This exhibition, titled “To Karachi With Love” was organized by D.U.C.K (Designers United for a Cause Karachi) and ReBuild-ReBound. These non-profit Organizations, initiated by Indus Valley Alumni, brought together designers, photographers, sculptors and visual artists to exhibit their work, create awareness and raise funds for humanitarian causes. To Karachi With Love was one of a series of events aimed to raise awareness about the loss of lives and destruction that followed the suicide blast on Ashura at Bolton Market in Karachi. All funds collected will go to the rebuilding of the market and surrounding area. All of the proceeds will go towards renowned architect, Shahid Abdullah’s efforts to reconstruct the affected area and to the shopkeepers who suffered a loss of Rs. 30-40 billion in total. Their lives have been put on hold and may never be the same again, but the purpose of this exhibition was to help bring about change; to reassure Karachi that the youth still has hope and will fight terrorists with love.
