The Unplugged Mural 🎨

We are extremely grateful to Nurayya Sheikh, Adeela Shah, and Ozair bin Mansoor — faculty from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) and to the incredible student volunteers from IVS, Karachi Grammar School and National College of Arts who brought this mural to life at Unplugged 2025 on November 1.

The concept behind the mural reflects one of our core beliefs at Synapse — working upstream on wellbeing to stay mentally well and healthy.

Through color, texture, and creativity, the mural embodies hope, connection, and the courage to speak openly about mental health — echoing our call to action: Ab Chup Nahin.
