کراچی شہر کا قدیم ترین کتب خانہ فریئر ہال لائبریری

کراچی شہر کا قدیم ترین کتب خانہ فریئر ہال لائبریری کے نام سے پہچانا جاتا ہے۔ اس کتب خانے نے ایک صدی سے زائد کا سفر طے کرنے کے بعد آج بھی اپنے قارئین کی توجہ کی مرکزیت حاصل کر رکھی ہے۔ وقت بدلنے کے ساتھ ساتھ اس کو مختلف ناموں سے موسوم کیا جاتا رہا ہے۔ شروع میں اس کا نام جنرل لائبریری تھا۔ 1844ء میں اس کا آغاز ایک چھوٹے سے کتب خانے سے ہوا تھا۔ تب یہ فوجی افسروں کی خدمات کے لیے چھاؤنی میں قائم کیا گیا اور جب اس کے قدر دانوں میں اضافہ ہوا، تو 114 اکتوبر 1851ء کو اس کتب خانہ کو جم خانہ کے ایک کمرے میں منتقل کر دیا گیا اور اس وقت اس کا نام جنرل لائبریری رکھا گیا۔ جگہ کی قلت کے پیش نظر فریئر ہال کی تعمیر کا کام 1883ء میں شروع کیا گیا اور دو سال کے عرصہ میں 1885ء میں کراچی کی یہ خوبصورت عمارت ایک لاکھ اسی ہزار روپے کی لاگت سے مکمل ہوئی۔

یہ عمارت دو منزلہ بلند و بالا مغربی تعمیر کا نمونہ تھی۔ اس میں نیچے کی منزل میں کتب خانہ رکھا گیا اور بالائی منزل پر آڈیٹوریم بنایا گیا۔ یہ آڈیٹوریم اس وقت بھی کراچی کی ثقافتی و ادبی محفلوں کا مرکز ہوا کرتا تھا۔ یہاں سٹیج ڈرامے اکثر کیے جاتے تھے۔ اس کتب خانے نے بہت سے نشیب و فراز دیکھے ہیں۔ اگست 1885ء میں یہ کتب خانہ کراچی بلدیہ کی زیر نگرانی دے دیا گیا۔ اس سے پہلے کتب خانہ کا انتظام چلانے کے لیے ایک کمیٹی مقرر تھی۔ آزادی کے بعد اس تاریخی علمی مرکز کو اپنے علمی قدر دانوں کی آمد سے محروم کر دیا گیا اور کافی عرصہ تک مقفل رہا۔ 10 دسمبر 1952ء کو کتب خانہ ایک بار پھر بلدیہ کراچی کو مکمل طور پر سونپ دیا گیا اور دوبارہ عوام کے لیے کھول دیا گیا۔

اس زمانہ میں ایک چھوٹے سے حصے میں لائبریری اور بقیہ نچلی منزل اور بالائی منزل پر عجائب گھر بنا دیا گیا۔ 1969ء میں عجائب گھر یہاں سے کسی دوسری جگہ منتقل ہو گیا، تو عمارت پوری طرح کتب خا نہ کے لیے استعمال میں لائی جانے لگی۔ اس سے قبل 1965ء میں اس کتب خانے کا بیشتر علمی مواد جو خوبصورت لکڑی کی الماریوں میں درجہ بندی اور کیٹلاگ کے ساتھ آراستہ کیا گیا تھا، جو نئی کتابیں آتی تھیں، ان کی درجہ بندی اور فہرست سازی کراچی لائبریری ایسوسی ایشن کے تحت چلنے والے سرٹیفکیٹ کورس کے طلبہ کو عملی مشق کے لیے یہاں لا کر اُن سے مکمل کرائی جاتی۔ ممبروں کو کتابیں جاری کی جاتی تھیں جبکہ مطالعہ کے لیے چھوٹی چھوٹی میزیں بھی بڑے کمرے میں الماریوں کے ساتھ رکھی گئی تھیں۔ کتب خانہ کا ماحول برطانیہ کی کسی کاؤنٹی کی چھوٹی لائبریری کی جھلک پیش کرتا تھا۔ شہر کراچی کے معززین کی بڑی تعداد اس علم کدہ سے فیض یاب ہوتی تھی۔

کتب خانہ کی قدامت اور اس کی عمارت کی شکستہ حالت کو دیکھ کر حکومت نے 1971ء میں اس کو غیر محفوظ قرار دے دیا اور اس کی دوبارہ تعمیر کا کام شروع کیا گیا، ساتھ کتب خانہ کی جگہ میں بھی توسیع کی گئی اور قریباً ایک لاکھ سے زائد کتابوں کی گنجائش کا اہتمام کیا گیا۔ عمارت کی تعمیر کا یہ مرحلہ 1978ء میں مکمل ہوا اور 23 جون 1979ء کو کتابوں کو نئے سرے سے ترتیب دے کر عوام کے لیے کھول دیا گیا۔1951ء میں پاکستان کے پہلے وزیراعظم لیاقت علی خان کی شہادت کے بعد اس کتب خانے کا نام بلدیہ کراچی نے لیاقت ہال لائبریری رکھ دیا۔ کتب خانہ کی عمارت آج کل شہر کراچی کے وسیع سبزہ زار باغ جناح کے قلب میں تشنگان علم کی پیاس بجھانے میں اسی طرح مصروف ہے، جس طرح سو سال قبل اس کے دروازے پر علم کے طالب آتے تھے۔

کتب خانہ کی امتیازی حیثیت ہر دور میں تسلیم کی گئی ہے۔ آج بھی اس میں پندرہ بیس ہزار کے قریب نادر اور نایاب کتب کا ذخیرہ موجود ہے۔ ان کتابوں کے لیے الگ ایک سیکشن بالائی منزل پر قائم کیا گیا ہے۔ نچلی منزل پر عوامی کتب خانہ ہے، جس میں بیالیس ہزار کے قریب کتابیں موجود ہیں۔ قریباً پچاس ملکی اور غیر ملکی رسائل اور جرائد یہاں وصول ہوتے ہیں۔ ان میں زیادہ تر انگریزی، اُردو، سندھی، گجراتی زبانوں میں ہیں۔ کتب خانہ میں جدید غیر مطبوعہ مواد کی خریداری کی طرف بھی توجہ دی جا رہی ہے۔ امید ہے کہ جلد ہی اس کتب خانہ میںسمعی و بصری آلات پر مشتمل ایک منفرد شعبہ عوام کو خدمات مہیا کرنا شروع کر دے گا۔ اس طرح مالی وسائل میں اضافہ کے ساتھ ساتھ تربیت یافتہ عملہ کی کمی کو بھی پورا کیا جا سکے گا۔

2nd October 2019, Summerhall Edinburgh Field Trip, The Summerhall Tour

On Monday 30th September 2019, the two classes from Inverness and Perth UHI went to Edinburgh for a tour of Summerhall and to listen to a couple working artists talk about their own practices. 

The following post is a direct reflection on my reactions in the moment as well as after the fact of the tour of Summerhall. The disjointed jumpiness of text is how I received the information.

At the beginning of the tour, we were seated in a Victorian lecture hall, where an employee of Summerhall spoke to us about the history of the building and what exhibitions we were to see on the tour. This employee mumbled a lot when he spoke making it difficult to catch what he was saying including his own name, thus him being referred to as employee throughout this post. Within the first two minutes of his talk the employee complained about how he was underpaid which was fun banter, to begin with yet soon he kept bringing it up which for me drew the line into unprofessionalism. I am not your HR team don’t complain to me about these things. Due to his mumbling, it appeared that he kept jumping from one story to the next making it very hard to follow and understand what he is saying. The employee also spoke ill of other artists saying “90% of artists you’ll work with will be absolute c words other 10% will be alright.” this to me seemed uncalled for as again it wasn’t anything to do with the tour. 

Finally, the employee started talking about Summerhall. 

The building of Summerhall has been around for hundreds of years, in the 1600s this area of Edinburgh was quite seedy and rough, in the 1700s a brewery was built and is the property of McGlenans Summerhall still has a brewery/distillery to honour this heritage. The gin distillery does tours also.

Summerhall has a cafe that is mainly occupied by mums with small children or people with laptops working away.

Summerhall Mission Statement is to be a multi-arts centre complex and over the past few years has become one of the best locations of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Summerhall was a veterinary nurse school for hundreds of years many rooms in Summerhall have changed very little from these times. They try to incorporate the history of the building and make them a part of the exhibitions. 

Summerhall has theatrical programs, as well as comic and musical programmes they run. They also do wine festivals and other events. 

They have hardly modified the rooms other than modern health and safety standards and heating.

However, there are some exceptions they do transform some spaces for certain exhibitions temporarily but when they’re done the room goes back to how it was. 

there is a war memorial library in the veterinary school.

they have a waiting list for use of studio spaces but it is very expensive. 

Summerhall has a visual arts programme, sociated programme, and curative programme.  the Sociated Programme is to have Summerhall make money you pay for a lot of the spaces etc. the Curative Programme is where they go out and look for artists and bring them in.

Summerhall has five shows at the moment of which it is my understanding we were seeing some of these on the tour.

Photography exhibition by the New York Times on climate change

Painter from Edinburgh painting exhibition deals with the exploration of sexuality, gays etc. Abstract painting.

Jane Frairs exhibition mural is highly political, Brexit, immigration, refugees. The employee describes it as a “beautiful exhibition”. The exhibition consists of murals and three short animated films. Sor politics has been talked about an awful lot in the beginning talk of the tour and it is getting irksome. 

Alan Smith exhibitions life exhibition of him right up to his death artworks and a couple films where he speaks his mind about his life as an artist and illness.

In the basement, a mental health exhibition is being prepped so cannot visit today. Opening on 10th October 2019 non-alcohol opening the employee expressed how he didn’t like this and how openings with alcohol available are better. 

The exhibition is about art therapy the employee stated “surprisingly they show real talent without and formal training” his tone and body langue tell that he is a believer you need formal training before even considering submitting your work to an institution. 

Richard D’maro is an artist in 60s, 70s, and 80s patron and collector of the arts in Scotland and South-East Europe he has an admirable archive library which recently has been opened to the public.

The employee expressed his views that an artist (because of the mumbling didn’t catch their name) was involved in Nazi practices because they grew up during the third riech the employee said “make that as you will” all though his body language and attitude said he believed they did based on one technicality no other evidence. 

Finally, the tour began. We were herded into a room full of photography no context as to what the art means or who the artist was, we were barely in there and taken a couple photos before being shuttled off somewhere else. 

Although the images have been displayed in a very professional manner I cannot give further thoughts on this exhibition as there wasn’t enough communication as to the context.

Next, we were taken to a room with art based around the themes of Brexit and immigration by artist Jane Frere. As personally I do not like mixing art and any form of politics my brain had instinctively switched off.

However, this being said one element of the exhibition 9 enjoyed and was very interested in. It was the placement of a Japanese shadow puppet box on a black plinth.

I have used plinths to display my artworks before and like here the plinth and wall colour was the same so it gives the impression of a floating artwork. Yet this is where the similarities end. Where I use the plinth as an extension of the artwork Frere uses the plinth purely for display purposes seen as the distribution of the artwork is printed directly onto the plinth branding it as a mere stand.

Sadly this all I can say on this room and exhibition as once again after a few short moments we were escorted away to a room which I was only able to have a glimpse at the reasoning for showing this space I am unsure.

The next room greatly interested me as it holds prints of works from Leonardo Da Vinci as being known as one of the artistic greats seeing these is an experience not to be forgotten. There were also works by David Boyes.

At the end of this room there is an interesting contraption. The employee informed us that it was used to separate bone from tissue, back when the building was a vetinary school. This to me was the current highlight of the tour as these vintage machines and ways of various surgery’s are an interest of mine.

In the climate change exhibition the photographs are very uniform, each shown in the same thin black frame, the same dimensions, and same high quality resolution. Again because of the messaging I didn’t pay enough attention, but I could still appreciate the art for what they are. High quality photographs.

At this point the employee asked me what my favourite exhibition was. To which I explained that the I don’t agree with the mixing of politics and art, I don’t want to see it everywhere when I know the world is going to pot. He wasn’t pleased with this answer looking me up and down like filth before abruptly turning away to talk to other students. Over the course of the tour I had be getting more and more annoyed with the employees unprofessionalism from his complaining about being underpaid to his mumbling, this pushed me over the edge. Do not ask for an opinion if you are not willing to hear any type of response.

The tour was still not over.

The employee showed us th drool where they hold staff parties. It was a room where the vetinary school would hold dissection classes, the students stand in the balcony while the lecturer directed various animals. On the side of the room there is the original lift where they’d transport the large animals such as elephants, horses, and cows to be dissected.

After this we were lead out into the courtyard where the tour ended and we made our way back into the building to listen to Anthony Shraug talk about his practices as a working artist.
