KB22 believes that Art is for All. The KB22 Trustees invite the people of Karachi to take a step into the future as they embrace the KB22 theme, Collective Imagination: Now and the Next, curated by Faisal Anwar, a hybrid artist based in Canada. This innovative platform will expose visitors, particularly the youth, to new ideas and unimaginable possibilities.
KB22 will provide all an opportunity to venture into 26 immersive art projects that explore Virtual Reality (VR), artificial intelligence, sensory, kinetic and creative computing.
It is our pleasure to welcome the public to KB22, which is free and open to all. We appreciate the partners, sponsors and supporters who have helped us connect the art, the people and the city.
It should be noted that the Karachi Biennale Trust (KBT) was founded in the year 2016 by a group of visual art professionals and educators as a dynamic platform to promote creativity, innovation and criticality in visual arts.
The KBT is a not-for-profit organization that has remained a citizens’ initiative supported by the corporate sector, and it works with a network of local and international cultural, educational philanthropic organizations.
