ART KI TALAASH- A JOURNEY OF KARACHI




Art ki talaash an event happened on 3rd September 2016 in the busiest city Karachi, where Karachi never sleeps even on Sundays. A large group of people went to search of art and artifacts in Karachi. The event was compiled by Karachi Biennale team whose mission is to fill Karachi with mesmerizing sights of art and design. At this point Karachi needs our attention and mission like these are on point. Karachi Biennale is coming up with various creative projects until the end of the year and next year for Karachi. 

A person like me who is born and bred in Karachi was in search of an opportunity to explore my city to a core, Karachi Biennale with the team Starlinks Pr planned a fun-filled treasure hunt Art ki Talaash. Our day started with meeting and greeting our teams over a cupcake by Emaans Cakes and Tea Coffee 9 and handed over our clues for the day. There were 32 clues and we have to read- understand and plan our strategy and rules accordingly. My team was Team Facts and we started our journey with Saddar as Saddar in a morning is easily accessible and then we made our route to defense and then touched sharah-e-Faisal in the way back to reach airport to Gulshan and then back to the where we started our Journey the NJV school. We managed to find 24 clues and rest were some wrong guesses but still our team was one big support for each other.




The places we managed to reach were Empress Market, Saint Patricks Cathedral, Khajur Bazar, Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir, State Bank Museum, Bottle Gali, Habib Bank Plaza, Napa, Ferrer Hall, Quaid Tomb, Karachi Zoo, Kpt bridge, Sea View, Airport, Safari and rest… The most amazing experience was when we were going as per Google map for Swami Nayaran Mandir and it took us to core muslim area and we were all stuck in searching where the mandir never exist and the map keep on showing we were standing above the mandir. 



So yes a big lesson learnt that google map has errors too. Overall the event was well managed by Starlinks PR Shahnaz appa, Turab and Mina Ramzi were fully engaged and we a big help and support.

Best of luck to Karachi Beinnale and Starlinks Pr for upcoming ventures.
