It’s February. The dust of the wedding season, with only a trace of its original sparkle, is finally beginning to settle. And our Karachi is just starting to simultaneously slow down and gear up once again.
You’re probably back in your normal daily routine; instead of having long, luxurious chai sessions in the evening and then rushing off to an event at night, you’re probably gulping down way too hot cups of coffee in the morning and rushing out the door to do whatever it is that occupies your days for roughly 11 months out of the calendar year.
However, with things finally calming down, there’s an opportunity to explore our city and discover all that it has to offer. Just in time, Super Savari has launched its newest tour – the ‘Hop on Hop off Art Attack’. If you missed the fun, desi vibe that Super Savari so perfectly captured with endless rounds of their “wedding tours” – think shiny buses, flower gajras for the ladies and lots of filmy pictures – get on board now for an opportunity to visit local galleries that house masterpieces by some of the country’s greatest artists.
You can think of the tour as gallery hopping on beautifully decorated mini buses, but that’s not all there is on offer. The tour includes visits to the artists’ own homes, giving you the opportunity to learn more about them. It’s the perfect way for you to witness Karachi’s vibrant art scene: to see through the eyes of the artists and to understand how Karachi brought out different meanings in their work. It’s an in-depth, cultural experience unlike any other that’s been offered before in the city.
So invite a younger cousin or a relative visiting from abroad or a friend who may be so inclined. Book your tickets and rediscover your city from a cultural lens.
As the dust settles around you, and normal routines kick back in, take out the time to do things that you don’t normally do.
