A Reel On Karachi is a book that takes the reader across the cityscape of Karachi.
The book focuses on the cable reels provided by Pakistan Cables, which have been reinvented with the creative visualisation of various artists – both local and international. The re-imagined reels have been placed citywide. Consequently, this book has wandered into the diverse reel locations, and documents the areas, culture, landmarks and rich heritage that surround these reels.
Alongside the photographic documentation, are thought-provoking facts and anecdotes, provided by renowned architect-activist-urban planner, Arif Hasan.
A Reel On Karachi delves into and shares with the reader the history, philosophy and culture of the sprawling metropolis that is Karachi.
