An exhibition displayed at the Mohatta Palace Museum in Karachi titled, ‘The Rising Tide,’ is a show with much to offer. Covering the ground floor of the Museum is the work of 42 artists divided into six categories: Cartographies of Intimacy; The Urban Transition; Languages of Belonging; Between the Real and the Fabricated; Imagined Worlds Envisioning Spaces and Ghosts in the Turret Room. The display described as: `New Directions in Art from Pakistan 1990’ and curated by Naiza Khan, will be running for three months. The work includes installations, video art, paintings, ink jet prints, drawings and every kind of mixed media. - Photos by Hasaan Haider/Dawn.com

Wow! The ideas projected are so diverse yet poignant. I wish I was in Pakistan to come view the exhibition but good job Dawn in bringing art & culture to the forefront...beats just hearing about tainted politics as usual!

I came to know about this exhibition today thanks to DAWN but can anyone tell me how can an individual find the current or upcoming exhibitions that takes place in Mohatta Palace?
Is there any website or forum where I can get the updates ?

Great work!
Too far away from motherland to visit the exhibition, so thank you Dawn for highlighting the event.

Karachisnob.com is a site which has latest updates on the goings-on in town and it covers exhibitions and latest news pretty well.The City page of the News and the Tribune are good too

Quite Crafty!
Its too royal for a layman like me.
I must say that I can do similar work particularly the one like "Quilt and Painting". The one I could understand was "Find the real Jinnah" and the one about Rug of Drones (something like this). The rest were simply pictures with colours. But seriously it is mcuh too abstract/absurd for a person not much into arts. It can be understood and appreciated by the devout art lovers. Had I been in Karachi I would have definitely paid a visit to see not only the paintings but also the Palace.

Excellent for Dawn to publish "a digital tour" of this art exbition. It allows also us - the readers in far-away countries, who follow the politics and other developments in Pakistan - to see the other side of Pakistan, not only the political problems. I also would like to know what happened to the rich archeological treasures, excavated sites in Mohendjaro, and others, when the floods covered so much of the country. Is there any coverage on Dawn on that?
