Seminar 1
Vibrational Sensing & Nomadic Pedagogies as Practice
9 October, 2024
An introduction to Karachi LaJamia’s experiences and experiments with ecopedagogy. Karachi LaJamia was founded in 2015 by artists Shahana Rajani and Zahra Malkani as a nomadic space moving outside the institution to explore new radical pedagogies and art practices. Since 2015 we have facilitated a series of site-specific courses and collaborative research projects to explore the intersections of militarism, climate crisis, indigenous dispossession, and knowledge production in Karachi. Our courses are developed in close collaboration with local organisations and activists to build solidarity with ongoing struggles around land, water and development in the city.
