Ayesha Manzil / Machhar Colony 2015
On May 23rd and 24th, Numaish Karachi came to Machhar Colony for its fourth and last instalment. The intervention was set up at the new recreation centre space opened for the children of the colony by Imkaan Welfare Organisation. Imkaan works in the community on mother and child health and child abandonment.
Seema Nusrat’s bird forms were extremely popular with the children as was Tehmina Maknojia’s Danda-doli swing. Colour was added to the space with bright paper globes and in keeping with the common links to the sea at Machhar Colony brightly painted oars adorned the walls. The science of Newton’s Cradle (by Dr Anzar Khaliq and Dr Oliver Faust) was explained by the principal of Iqra Grammar School.
