Harsh Screen Art

We are located in Rabarigali, specifically in Ramesh Biscuit Ni Gali near the Saijpur Tower in Naroda. It’s a bit of a maze back here in these narrow lanes. If you get lost, just ask someone for the biscuit gali and they will point you the right way. Our shop is where we do all our screen printing. There is ink on almost every surface, including our clothes most days. It’s a messy job, but we enjoy it. We have screens leaning against the walls and drying racks taking up most of the floor space. Sometimes it’s hard to walk through without bumping into something. The air smells like chemicals and paint, which we don't even notice anymore after all these years. We don't have a fancy showroom. People just come to the back where we are working. It’s a small team here, mostly just friends and family who have learned the trade over time. The noise from the main Naroda road is always there in the background, but it’s quieter once you get deep into the gali. We don't put on any acts for customers. We are usually busy with a squeegee in hand, trying to get the colors just right. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until late at night. We just do our best with every screen we print and hope the weather stays dry for the ink.
