Mehvash Amin, Editor in Chief of The Aleph Review and project co-lead, talks about the experience of attending Karachi Biennale KB24 and participating in the EWA project workshop there.

This article by Mehvash Amin reflects on the experience of attending Karachi Biennale 2024, including the EWA workshop:

“Two years ago, Madeline Clements of the Teesside University in England got in touch with a few publishers and editors who had been interviewed by Maham Khan and Sadia Akhtar for a project. I was one of them. Madeline’s idea was to get together women publishers and editors in Pakistan under the aegis of an umbrella organization. After that first meeting at The Last Word bookstore, where Madeline, myself and Niilofur Farrukh, Managing Trustee of the Karachi Biennale, were all present, a constructive outreach to many other women editors and publishers was initiated and PAPWE was born… Eventually, it was decided that Teesside University would fund a project whereby four researchers, two from Karachi and two from Lahore, would archive parts of publications run by women—publications which for one reason or another had had to fold up.”
