When we heard about the I AM KARACHI WALLS OF PEACE movement, aimed at reclaiming the streets of Karachi by removing negative graffiti from the walls and converting them into unique displays of art with messages of hope, pride, and diversity, we couldn’t help but be intrigued at how it would turn out.
