It has just been a little over three months following the horrific incident of seven armed gunmen open fired on students of Army Public School in Peshawar, killing 145 people, including 132 students between the age of 8-15 years.
While people in Pakistan are still trying to move forward from the blood-stained graphic images of that day, some students of design at the Indus Valley School of Arts and Architecture in Karachi insist that those images should not be forgotten, blood shed by the innocent souls should not be in vein.
In a campaign designed to evoke painful memories and emotion, these students visually communicate the horrors of the Army Public School tragedy that shook the country on December 16 last year.
“Karachi is such a violent city,” graphic designer Umaima Mughal told Dawn. “We have permanently become indifferent to the violence around us. We have become numb. We wanted to move people; to feel something when they look at the posters. We don’t want them to remain indifferent. We want people to feel the pain.”
Here’s a compilation of some of the artwork put together by the Indus Valley School of Arts and Architecture students.
