Muted Music — The Private Spaces of Karachi's Underground

Imagine moving 'home' for the first time in your life. Having spent almost the entirety of her life abroad, Mahira returned to Karachi, Pakistan to explore the the city of her father's childhood and mother's early adulthood. Brought up on the stories of Karachi's past, of 'the good old days' that seemed to have withered away under the dust and debris in the forgotten parts of town, she embarked on a journey to explore the city she was told was once filled with bars, nightclubs and discotheques—the city that shaped some of the fondest memories of her father's youth. Karachi is no longer the city it once was in the 70s. Hosted, narration, and text by Mahira Jamshed Audio by Elphick Wo Photos by Zoral Khurram See the whole story here. What is MAEKAN?
