Karachi Biennale Trust is very pleased to announce Pakistani artist Faisal Anwar as the curator for the Third Karachi Biennale KB22 scheduled to take place in October / November 2022.
Born and raised in Pakistan, Faisal attended the National College of Arts and later The Habitat New Media Lab at the Canada Film Center. He has garnered acclaim for his hybrid art practice that connects the digital with the physical. Faisal is currently a curator and artist based in Toronto, Canada.
“When the Karachi Biennale trustees approached me and we started conversations and discussions,” says Anwar, “two points really grabbed my interest.
The first was the idea to create public art presence and connect with cities and communities throughout, and the second was their vision to be experimental and explore digital and contemporary mediums. This vision of keeping digital art in focus interests me a lot. For me, it is fascinating to live and work in recent art movements and experience how technology is progressing, especially in the past two decades.”
KBT will soon start its online residences, workshops and educational projects. Stay tuned: http://karachibiennale.org.pk/
