Art and the city
KARACHI: Driving down Molvi Tamizuddin Khan Road, one cannot but miss the once pleasant and different kinds of graffiti on portions of the walls of the container warehouse there. It wasn’t so long ago when these walls got their new look as part of a cityscape beautification project of an NGO. But weather conditions such as rains and the harsh rays of the sun have got the better of the walls, fading out the colours now covered in dust and pollution as the wall has also developed cracks.
Moving up on the Mai Kolachi bypass, one passes by a statue of the slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto with the arm raised to greet her people. The recent rains have, thankfully, washed the dust off it.
