The Karachi Biennale is KBT’s core project that connects art, the city and its people, and acts like a temporary museum showcasing leading artists in Karachi.
Risk, the title of the fourth edition of the Karachi Biennale 2024 represents a perpetual paradox, it aims to spark the critical conversations about intricate relationships between food security, environmental sustainability, social justice, and cultural heritage.
Through a diverse range of artistic practices and perspectives, the vision of KB24 will provide the audience with a chance to delve into the complex web of factors that are influencing the global food systems, from the impact of colonialism and globalization to the effects of climate change and consequences of carbon emissions.
The theme Rizq/ Risk aims to not only raise awareness among local and international art enthusiasts but to also sensitize public audiences walking through the exhibitions; where artists take on the role of social rights activists, environmentalists, and sustainability advocates.
