Description
At Salt Arts we believe Karachi is the hub of live music - as well as the centre of cosmopolitan and intersectional arts audiences in Pakistan. As Karachi inspires our voice in Southasia - we explore its past and plan it’s now. Our inherited nostalgia from generations before have led to our new series of curated acts and the historical Beach Luxury Hotel as our collaborators and strategic partner.
Built in 1947 as a 100 room hotel, the BLH boasts a rich history of live music during Karachi’s golden age. Now in 2018, we revisit what that old love Karachi was and what it can be. A break from the noise, a celebration of our urban heritage featuring contemporary artists and genres.
Join us this season for a series of curated audio visual showcases. Opening with musical act Khumariyaan. Khumar means intoxication. This band of musicians hailing from Peshawar formed its artistic identity in response to the hardships faced by the youth of the country, in the face of conservatism, politics and censorship.
