Rebuilding Recaptured

Rebuilding Recaptured

The book has been hand printed in a limited edition and is for sale at NexUs.

August 21-September 4, 2017

Sipapokhare is one of the country’s least developed and most socially marginalized communities it also found itself almost at the epicenter of the 2015 earthquake which had devastating effects for the community.

As artists we wanted to offer support and contribute what we could to the healing process. As opposed to physical rebuilding to which there are so many others better qualified could we use art and the mentality that creates art to rebuild attitudes?

During a month long Residency,18 Nepali and foreign artists lived both in Kathmandu and in the Village with the local Dalit families. They conducted various workshops among different groups including children, adolescents, mothers and teachers, each structured differently with the particular group in mind. This was a process not just about artists helping residents but also about both artists and residents questioning their own preconceptions about the creation of art.

We will be exhibiting artwork by the 18 resident artists and the participants from Sipapokhare at NexUs. The exhibition will coincide with the launch of the book ‘Rebuilding Recaptured’ hand-printed by our Nepali artists which details the project and includes artwork by each individual artist.
