This is my story: Dialogue with Pakistan includes a public exhibition, social media campaign, and awareness campaign that explores the impact of violence on the emotional and cognitive process of individuals and communities across the country. The public exhibitions took place in Karachi and Lahore in September and October 2011 and featured the work of 16 artists who created works focusing on personal encounters with violence.
The project also included a blog, a blog competition, a radio awareness campaign, a street campaign and an interactive website.
The blog competition was conducted by the Express Tribune in July and August 2011 to get bloggers to write about their thoughts on the impact of violence on our nation.
A series of seminars and workshops culminated into two multi-media exhibitions held in Karachi and Lahore in September and October 2011. The Karachi exhibit took place at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, and the Lahore exhibit at The National College of Arts. The exhibits explored personal narratives, video diaries, exhibits, oral histories, photographs and installations that explore memories and legacies of the past and present conflict in Pakistan.
