It aims to portray historically rich, healthy and positive image of Liyari’s culture, folk, literature, games and history through fine arts and media education, Coordinator to Chief Minister Sindh for Human Rights Ms Nadya Gabol said this while inaugurating first of its kind in the area “The Lyari Films & Photography School”.
The school was established by some art lover students of Lyari on their own resources in order to counter violence-related image of Lyari and to depict positive picture of talent that the youth possess.
Nadya Gabol was given multi-media briefing and she visited different sections of the school including library.
Short documentaries dramatised on current situation of Lyari were also played which were appreciated by the participants. While speaking to the gathering, Nadya Gabol regretted that the word “Lyari” had almost every time been found written and mentioned in headlines of crime-related stories of daily newspapers and media channels for the last few years just because of some criminal gangs.
Such practice painted a dismal picture of Liyari to the public that it (Lyari) had become a nursery of every crime but this was not the truth. There were many positive things to be discussed about Lyari – it’s culture, history, folk, games, literature and so on, she added.
