Exhibition and Film

Hinterland Gallery, Krongasse 20, 1050 Wien

Pagal Pagal project takes us on a video journey by Canadian artist Althea Thauberger about the Capri Cinema in Karachi. She visualizes the cinema wall as a screen reflecting the seashore and stories of bodies through the works of Karachi-based artists. The exhibition introduces a new way of thinking and existing by challenging our decolonial responsibilities to the city of Karachi, and encourages us to revise our position in the stories. What does Karachi mean to us? A city in the Global South, or part of our body that keeps us afloat? A range of videos, archival material, drawings, and mapping are included in the exhibition.
