Migration Stories- Thesis Project

The majority of Karachi's population, approximately 90 %, comprises of migrants from different backgrounds. Over the years, Karachi's culture and identity has been shaped by various influences brought in by immigrants belonging to diverse ethnic and religious groups.
 
While some people came to Karachi for better economic opportunities, others fled wars in their own countries and found refuge here. 'Migration Stories' is a project that looks at the movement of migrants to and from Karachi. It showcases, in particular, the stories of four individuals who left one home for another.
 
It also consists of a series of post cards designed to highlight the various communities/groups that can be found in the city today. The project aims to highlight this diversity that makes Karachi what it is.
