Chaotic Karachi: Expressions for Sanity

According to the rapper and comedian Ali Gul Pir, Karachi is the most misunderstood place in the world. For TIMEZONES, he produced an episode that will give you a “real” feel of what it’s like to be an artist in this city of a million plus dreams, hopes, and problems. A world leading magazine called Pakistan “the most dangerous place in the world” but take it from Ali Gul Pir, who has lived most of his life there: “It’s an amazing place. Karachi has given me my identity, my voice, and space to express.” In this podcast episode, he meets artists that he’s friends with, to talk about how they use collaborations and work to express themselves, and he also discovers the hurdles of a Pakistani female guitarist.
