Archiving for the Future
Have you visited Taragaon Museum’s permanent exhibition: “Archiving for the Future.” We are delighted as we embark on a captivating journey that explores the intersection of time, architecture, and archives, all through the lens of memory and people. This exhibition shines a light on the crucial role of archiving in preserving and promoting our shared heritage for generations to come.
At the heart of this exhibition lies the Nepal Architecture Archive (NAA). This ever-growing and versatile archive is a treasure trove of rare photographs, books, surveys, blueprints, objects, and invaluable notes. It offers unique insights into Nepal’s rapidly evolving urban landscapes and cultural nuances. Over the years, the archive has been enriched by the dedicated work of international and local scholars and artists, who have documented and contributed to its vast collection. Today, we honor their efforts as we explore the histories of architectural elements and materials that shape our understanding of Nepal’s architectural heritage.
To facilitate a refreshed vision of the Nepal Architecture Archive, the curatorial team envisioned a broad overview of four primary themes across three galleries: People and Places, Vernacular Architecture, Architectural Surveys, and Monuments. The maps, photographs, objects, and ephemera that articulate these four themes are either originals or reprints of materials from the archive by scholars, researchers, and contributors who have spent years and some decades documenting the lives and landscapes of people and places they encountered. Each gallery offers various access points for visitors to the archive with their own stories and histories.
We would also like to announce a free guided tour every Monday, 3pm.

‘Collective Expressions’ by Pagoda Group
‘Collective Expressions’ by Pagoda Group
–
Pagoda Group is a dynamic five-member collective featuring Roshan Pradhan, Kishor Nakarmi, Pradhumna Shrestha, Mala Shrestha, and Rudra Bahadur Pun.
The group’s present exhibition titled ‘Collective Expressions’ is a reaffirmation of their commitment to highlighting Nepal’s heritage, while also serving as a medium to draw attention to the fact that our precious heritage – the very myths, and traditions that have shaped our very cultural identity through the millennia are threatened by urban pressure, haphazard planning and apathy.
The artists in this collective also draw us to another scenario – one where the human species faces myriad dilemmas with the rise of robotics and advanced technology. Each artist in this
collective, addresses these concerns, with the power of their narrative and unique style.

‘Collective Expressions’ will continue till the 17th of February 2023.

THE MIND OF THE MAKER by PRIYAM PRADHAN
‘The Mind Of The Maker’ is a body of vivid, retro-inspired collages that delve into contemporary complexities of the mind and world.
Priyam’s own silhouette acts as the center of his works—he is the Maker whose psyche is being explored. The maker’s mind is filled with vibrant chaos that (comes to life) and makes sense after some pondering.
Visit to witness Pradhan’s quest to investigate his own psyche as well as the incidents and experiences that affect it.

SOUNDLESSNESS – Bình Nhi
Artist’s Statement
SOUNDLESSNESS / Bình Nhi
26th August to 28th August
My stay in Nepal lasted longer than I initially thought. Art always teaches us to explore, passion, and pursue to the end no matter where we are.
My first wish upon coming to the land of Buddha was to study more about Buddha, Mandala, and Thangka paintings at Tsering Art School in Shechen monastery. After almost three months of experiencing many places, I feel as if the colors, people, and scenery of this place harmonize with me as one.
Thus, my drawings came to me naturally without any hesitation—over 20 paintings on rice paper. The idea of saving beautiful memories through a personal exhibition made sense to me and I started composing more outside of class.
The 3 days of my exhibition are neither more nor less. For me, they are perfect.
There are over 35 paintings carefully placed over two floors—the 1st floor shows 10 paintings of lotuses and insects that are knitted with religious colors. These works are perhaps the old self immersing in new colors without losing itself.
On the 2nd floor, I have displayed, landscapes, people, and places I experienced in Nepal. All the paintings are painted in abstract language.
The religious colors of Nepal attract me and I have expressed it in lines, texture, and colors. When it comes to art, I don’t intend to draw to imply or describe what I want to say, but rather I like to touch and feel.
Every path I go through carries the sound of mantras and Buddhist verses. It’s the sound of liberation, the sound of freedom and peace that I feel. It cannot be expressed in words.
“Silence” is perhaps the state when the self finds a release, it is surprisingly not without sound, and it is not voiceless. It’s like falling into the stillness of the mind!
To experience all of those was not an easy path but to achieve genuine happiness within me is my greatest wish.
I hope my personal experiences in this foreign land—as a form of art— will bring the sound of joy to all.

QUICK TIME, OLD RIVER, AND A SKY FULL OF DREAMS
Nepal Picture Library is thrilled to announce the opening of
QUICK TIME, OLD RIVER, AND A SKY FULL OF DREAMS at Patan House
29 June – 30 September
Patan House, Dhaugal
Kathmandu valley is experiencing unprecedented change. Is time somehow speeding past quicker than it used to? What do we remember of the old ways of life? How can this memory transform into knowledge which takes us past simple nostalgia? How can this knowledge show us tenable ways to serve the needs and dreams of the millions who share the Kathmandu sky? How can plans and policies look beyond technocratic solutions to embrace a healthier politics of the commons?
This exhibition, with its accompanying public program, attempts to address these and related themes that thread together the outcomes produced by the seven research fellows of the Kathmandu Valley Urban History Project.
The Kathmandu Valley Urban History Project is a research and public knowledge initiative that works towards understanding, documenting, and telling stories about the ways that Kathmandu is experiencing change. Through place-based research, archiving, and storytelling, the project seeks to contribute to the public discourse on urbanization, the commons, and imaginations for the future.

MITHILA COSMOS: THE CYCLES OF LIFE by SC SUMAN

READING THE WORLD THROUGH THE MITHILA LENS

SC Suman’s ‘Mithila Cosmos: The Cycles Of Time’ peers into the contemporary world with help from the Mithila genre and Hindu mythology
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.

Taken from Four Quartets by TS Eliot

  • WHAT: Mithila Cosmos: The Cycles Of Time
  • WHEN: Dec 10, 2021 to Jan 15, 2022
  • WHERE: Siddhartha Art Gallery, Babermahal Revisited

Call for participation in a short film making competition on ‘Gender Equality’

Background: Gender has been a cross cutting issue for the European Union in all of its development cooperation interventions globally and in Nepal. While there has been some uneven progress in addressing girls’ and women’s rights, not a single country, around the world, is on track to empower girls and achieve gender equality by 2030. To make matters worse the COVID situation around the world has been affecting the girls and women the most. This is because a large number of them work in the informal sector. Gender violence is reportedly on the rise after the onslaught of the COVID pandemic in Nepal and there is a glaring need to raise awareness against gender violence and at the same time show solidarity with the ongoing movement to advocate and establish gender rights at all levels of the Nepali society.

प्रतियोगितामा सहभागीहरुले बढीमा तीन वटा फोटो समावेस गर्न सक्ने व्यवस्था मिलाईएको छ । प्रतियोतिमा आएका उत्कृष्ट १० फोटोहरु छनौट गरिने छ । प्रत्येक उत्कृष्ट १० विजेता फोटोपत्रकार तथा फोटोग्राफरहरुलाई जनही रु. १० हजार नगद पुरस्कार र प्रमाण पत्र प्रदान गर्ने छ ।

OAC Film Series: In the Shadows of Everest
In The Shadows of Everest, featuring Conrad Anker and directed by Gaëtan Lamarre will be screened at OAC Nepal on March 3, 2020, at 5:15pm.

Phortse. Home to more Everest summiteers than anywhere else on earth.

Sherpas who live here are the backbone of nearly every expedition to the summit of the world.

Phortse is also home to the Khumbu Climbing Centre, founded by Jenni Lowe-Anker and Conrad Anker, to teach climbing skills that are vital to the safety of Sherpas during expeditions. Up until the creation of the centre, most Sherpas were climbing Everest without basic climbing skills, making their work even more dangerous.

From the construction of the KCC headquarters, at 3,800 metres, to Dumji, a Buddhist festival for the ages, these are the stories of Phortse.

Come join us for the screening, the screening is free and open to the public; please note that seating is extremely limited. doors open at 5pm, all seating options are first come and first serve. Meanwhile you can grab your favorite drink and food from our cafeteria throughout the movie.

Beyond Auto Mode Photography Workshop – February 2020
Do you use your camera’s automatic mode to take pictures? This means you have given up control of your photography. Although you push the shutter button to actually take the image but that just makes you a button-pusher, not an active participant in the process. Photography, in its purest form, is a mix of art and science. Each of us can be “photographer” by taking control of our cameras and making images with intention.

Do you ever look at your photos and wonder why they are so dark or so light? Do you wonder why some images are blurry, but images made two frames later are not? Do you look at your images and wish you could do better?

Anyone can make an incredible picture. You just have to get beyond ‘auto mode’ and start making pictures.
