Final Year Project

Project Title

Archiving Dastak

Description

It as an attempt to archive the uncelebrated history of Dastak, a political theatre troupe that challenged the Zia regime through its socially conscious plays. The aim is to document Karachi's cultural history as well as inform the newer generations about the work of this troupe which not many know of. My work is completely original and something that hasn't been done on such a scale before.
