Faizi Rahmeen Art Gallery yet to open doors

The Faizi Rahmeen Art Gallery in Karachi, Pakistan, remains unfinished over 35 years after its inception, despite being initiated during the tenure of former MQM Mayor Dr. Farooq Sattar. Construction of the ground-plus-three-storey structure was completed by 1992 at an estimated cost of Rs80 million, but work stalled after the launch of "Operation Clean-Up" against the MQM and the dissolution of the local government. A brief revival in 2007 only saw installation of glass panels and floor tiling; core civil works are only 70% complete, and key systems like electrical, mechanical, revolving stage, and sound system are still pending. The site, formerly the residence of renowned author Atiya Begum and artist Faizi Rahmeen, was donated to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) in trust with the explicit intention of establishing an art gallery. KMC's Culture, Sports and Recreation office now operates from the property, but the gallery itself remains stalled due to lack of political priority for arts and culture.

Instead, the organization will publish a book titled "20 Years of Prospect" to mark its 20th anniversary, featuring essays, personal accounts, and archival images. Executive director Nick Stillman told Artnews that launching another large-scale exhibition is "not the focus right now," citing a need to pause, reflect on the triennial's legacy, and ensure its accomplishments are properly documented.
