Final Year Project

Project Title

Museum of Resistance

Description

I am building a speculative museum set in Karachi 2035, speculating the events of a dystopian city that has been invaded by a foreign force. My story and research is based upon EIC, Zia's rule, the Taliban takeover, minority violence in the country and CPEC. The museum will tell the stories of the freedom fighters, as well as offer a glimpse of the parallels in the story and reality.
