There is a group of dedicated, young art practitioners in Nepal, who believe that art can alleviate suffering not simply in the form of distraction or an escape but as a powerful, transformative practice that can lead to true convalescence and personal growth

I remember ending my last piece with these words: ‘Let’s take another step forward to a time when life for humankind has ceased altogether and turn back to this time, this Sunday morning in June in the year 2018.

As you pass Hotel Himalaya in Lalitpur, your eyes are bound to linger on the wall separating it from the busy traffic on the road. Women’s faces, reclining bodies, flora and fauna in tints of red and shades of white,

Recently, Club 25 Hours at Tangalwood hosted quite an extraordinary show over two weekends.

In the first week of January, Nexus Culture Nepal at Bakhundole hosted a rather interesting event called ‘The Loudest Voices You Never Heard’.
