'Art is not a luxury. Art is a basic social need to which everyone has a right'. This extraordinary collection of 100 artists' manifestos from across the globe over the last 100 years brings together political activists, anti-colonialists, surrealists, socialists, nihilists and a host of other voices. From the Négritude movement in Europe, Africa and Martinique to Japan's Bikyoto, from Iraqi modernism to Australian cyberfeminism, they are by turns personal, political, utopian, angry, sublime and revolutionary. Some have not been published in English before; some were written in climates of censorship and brutality; some contain visions of a future still on the horizon. What unites them is the belief that art can change the world.
The Absurd(c)ity exhibition is a presentation of a narrative of art of the surreal nature from modern to contemporary in Malaysia from 1950 to the current year 2013, where nearly all the works on display are from the collection of the National Visual Arts Gallery. However, there are also works from invited artists that form part of this documentation. At the same time, this exhibition also looks at the development of the surreal style by young artists up to today's contemporary era.

A selection of interviews converges into a unique celebration of the people and their chosen city. Karachiwala offers a window-view of the city. It presents Karachi's social and physical diversity through the personal stories, families or groups and through them elaborates upon the lifestyle, language, values and interests of each community. Whether ethnic, professional, religious or social, each has a unique story.
