Chaska Galiyon Ka is a collection of photographs that capture Pakistan’s most diverse city. This visual journey through Karachi’s streets is a soulful exploration through the eyes of an artist who has called the city home for over 38 years. Segmented into relatable themes – faces, food, color, among many others – the photographs are accompanied by insightful, bilingual commentary from the author herself, tinged with optimistic nostalgia. ‘Chaska’ is at once an extended chronicle and a momentary snapshot in time, encapsulating The City of Lights for those separated from it by time and space. And for those who call Karachi home, it’s enough to reignite a zest for the streets.
