Karachi La Jamia
Karachi LaJamia was founded in 2015 by artists Shahana Rajani and Zahra Malkani as a nomadic space beyond institutional bounds to explore new radical pedagogies and art practices. 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. They have experimented with a range of research and pedagogical methods, and produced publications, video works, scholarly texts, browser- based artwork, syllabi, workbooks, and an expansive archive of fieldwork.
