KB19 Launch Event

Habib Fida Ali House

Launch of the Second Karachi Biennale

The launch of KB19, the second iteration of the Karachi Biennale, and a tribute to the late Habib Fida Ali took place on February 9, 2019, at the historic Habib Fida Ali House.

Foregrounding Karachi's history and its architectural heritage is a large part of what KBT does, making this location particularly fitting for the launch of KB19—an event anchored in Karachi.

Curator Muhammad Zeeshan introduced the theme of the Biennale, Ecology, and explained how the focus of KB19 would be to take art outdoors, directly to the public by situating it in public parks and areas of extreme foot traffic.

CEO KB19, Niilofur Farrukh introduced the event as a first-ever opportunity for Pakistani artists to engage with ecology on such a large scale, addressing its concerns and sensitizing the public.

Documentary Tribute

A documentary on Habib Fida Ali, specially commissioned by KBT, saw young film student Zahra Mansoor create a tribute and commemoration that introduced Habib's work and architectural legacy to a new generation.
