Momin Zafar writes of his performance for KB17: “Halt and Flow is an interactive piece played out akin to yoga on a Twister mat, with a grid of textured circles forming a colour-coded map of Karachi. With allusions to physical threat, personal agency, traffic density and unconventional spirituality, it is about the specificity of locating oneself in space; how location and interaction may distort personal rhythms; and how the affectee perseveres to maintain intention and motion.”
