A new Karachi mural was unveiled at the Arts Council Karachi roundabout in a ceremony attended by city and cultural officials and the artists responsible for the work.
The event featured Mayor Murtaza Wahab as chief guest, joined by H.E. Alexis Chahtahtinsky, Consul General of France in Karachi; Marc Piton, Counsellor for Cooperation and Cultural Affairs at the Embassy of France; Emmanuel Bruerec, Director of the Alliance Française de Karachi; and Muhammad Ahmed Shah, President of the Arts Council Pakistan Karachi, who collectively opened the public artwork.
The mural was created by international and local artists — Nasty (France), Seth GlobePainter (France), Affan Tariq (Pakistan) and Talal (Pakistan) — alongside SOVAPA faculty and students. The Karachi mural reflects a collaborative approach that brought together diverse creative voices and institutional support.
The involvement of the French embassy and the Alliance Française de Karachi highlighted the cross-border cultural partnership behind the project, while Arts Council Pakistan Karachi provided the public platform for the unveiling. The event underscored ongoing efforts to enrich Karachi’s public spaces through art.
The initiative aims to encourage further public art projects and community engagement around the roundabout, positioning the Karachi mural as part of a wider cultural push to activate urban spaces and celebrate artistic exchange.
