Recorded in Lahore in March 2013, Hydr Ibrahim, Pakistani architect and co-founder of Resettling the Indus, talks about the grass roots social movement that is rebuilding flood- and war-ravaged villages in the Punjab, Sindh and South Waziristan regions of the Indus valley.

Recorded in Lahore last month, Hydr Ibrahim, Pakistani architect and founder of Resettling the Indus, talks about the grass roots social movement that is rebuilding flood- and war-ravaged villages in the Punjab, Sindh and South Waziristan regions of the Indus valley.

This is a surprising story to come from Pakistan, a country more often associated these days with the brutal side of humanity.  It is also a grand story of a new generation of citizen-builders, envisioning, resettling and bringing new life out of what was destroyed.

Produced by Tony Ernst and broadcast on WPKN 89.5 on April 10, 2013
Recorded at Sanjannagar Audio Recording Studio, Lahore, Pakistan.

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
