Do you know about the PeaceNiche Public Art Project? Many countries have made significant effort to utilise public art to counter social exclusion in societies, and if there ever was a candidate for this experiment, it is without a doubt, the city of Karachi – one fragmented by its very nature, where we hope you will agree that the cohesive influence of art can only be a balm. We believe that public art makes a significant impact, both in the long and short term. Our desired outcomes include, but are not limited to: The Artistic: Providing a visual, aesthetic enjoyment and appreciation; attracting debate, discussion and encouraging more self-expression in an artistic medium. The Social: Allowing for community bonding that transcends socio-economic barriers; bringing about an appreciation for the surroundings; creating and strengthening a shared identity and shared ownership of ideas, expressions and physical spaces; over time, giving expression to the disenfranchised and under represented. The Educational: Providing those that may not have previously considered it, an opportunity to consider the arts as a viable career choice; teaching young and old alike about the significance of artistic endeavour and what goes into the process of creating a work of art; providing moments for honest reflection and the consideration and understanding of diverse viewpoints and reactions. The Economic: Nieghborhood renewal and regeneration, marketing of localities increasing local tourism and movement of people; stimulation of commerce by the creation of a lively and thriving arts marketplace, eventual investment and greater output.
