Chairman IPAF, Jameel Yousaf says that the purpose of the mural is to present a soft image of the city.
He shared:
They falsely brand us with terrorism, this and that, they do not even know how much love, affection, and compassion in Karachi city. It’s(Karachi) so vibrant, I don’t think there’s any city in the world this vibrant.
Artist Giuseppe Percivati shared:
They wanted to make a mural to raise awareness about deforestation, the cutting of the Mongoose Forest.
Pakistan is the 7th most vulnerable to climate change! On the other hand, IPAF plans to record this feat with the Guinness World Records and has officially filed a form for it.
As of now, this record is held by north-Wichita, Beachner Grain elevator on 519 E., 20th Street. Colombian artist GLeo.
