We are very much blessed to have some wonderful corporates working in our country, who are really doing well by spending a lot to fulfil their corporate social responsibility. The icing on the cake is that the way they came with amazing ideas to implement and brought many changes in the perspective of millions. One of them is Pakistan Cables, recently they launched a coffee table BOOK ” A REEL on HAI “.
This book is the contributions of fifty-seven artists installed at over twenty public spaces featured in the book compiled to mark the completion of project Reel on Hai, a public outreach initiative of the Karachi Biennale Trust.
“Depicting the project’s illustrated story, this book is a testament to efforts that have brought Reel On Hai to life and allowed for the transformation of cable reels into public works of art. I hope that readers will enjoy it as much as I did while supporting the project as main activity partner alongside Karachi Biennale Trust,” stated Mr. Kamal A.
