Nurturing Critical Minds & Eco-Awareness
The Second Karachi Biennale (KB19) Educational Program engaged students, teachers, and young learners through creative workshops, school tours, and interactive sessions. These initiatives fostered critical thinking, environmental awareness, and an appreciation for contemporary art in relation to ecology.
The Jungle Book
The idea behind the workshop is to explore the multiple ways in which the word "Jungle" is used in our day-to-day vocabulary, with particular reference to our surrounding and environment. It looks into the evolution of how the urban jungle—our cities, towns, environments, neighbourhoods—has changed over time.

School Workshops
With a focus on contemporary art, and getting students to understand the work and purpose of artists, these workshops take place within the schools. The workshops focus on questions like: What is Art? Why do we do it? Taking forward the workshops that we did last year, we will expand the conversation around art to focus on the environment and how artists have been instrumental in bringing focus to the world around them.
School Tours
The tours revolve around the artworks at the venue, where as a group we critically analyse them. The tour ensures that the visit stresses the Curatorial focus and how artists have responded to the call. Through interactive discussion and exploration, we question the works and develop knowledge collectively.
