Turn Karachi Inside-Out in 24 hours!

Posted by admin in TEDxKarachi, TEDxKarachi 2011 on May 23rd, 2011 | 5 responses

TEDxKarachi is giving away two tickets to attend TEDxKarachi 2011 to two individuals who photograph and upload images of the Inside Out project located at two secret undisclosed locations from May 26th at 12:00am to May 26th at 11:00pm.

7 photographers from Karachi have created works for the Inside Out project founded by TED Prize winner and renowned photographer JR to call attention to the issue of discrimination against minority communities in Pakistan.

The Inside Out is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These photographs will serve as a means to expose the discrimination of minority communities in Pakistan, and to initiate dialogue on the issue through these personal portraits.

The photographs will be up at two secret undisclosed locations on the 26th of May at midnight across Karachi. To enter

  • Find the two secret TEDxKarachi Inside-Out locations in Karachi
  • Take photographs of the pictures (please refrain from disturbing the artists while they work on this secret mission)
  • Socially upload our pictures using the hashtag #TEDxKarachi on Twitter or flickr
  • Or even on Facebook where you can name and tag it to the TEDxKarachi page http://facebook.com/TEDxKarachi

You can submit as many entries as you want for the duration of the TEDxKarachi Inside Out Social media game ending

Deadline is the Thursday 26th May at 11:00pm. Winners will be announced anytime after that with the hope that they can attend the TEDxKarachi event on Friday at 3:30pm

The project is committed to a common belief in the peaceful coexistence and acceptance of all communities, and a mission to engage and educate the general public, about the persecution that these communities are subject to.

The INSIDE OUT project is a creation of the street artist JR, the recipient of the 2011 TED Prize (watch JR’s TED talk here).

    My out of the box idea: Discontinue all currency notes greater than 100 rupees. This will lead to documentation of the economy (and hence a wider tax base) and corruption/bribery will diminish. The largely poor masses will not be adversely affected as they already don’t deal in 1000s and 5000s.
