A Federal Life Exhibition | 15-20 June at Yalamaya Kendra

22 young artists of Nepal have come together despite their differences in ethnicity, status and gender to stand united in their determination to become practitioners of change, using their extraordinary skills to share their creative perspectives with the Nepali public. It is the artists' significant understanding of the nations's cultural and social cues, and its historic reverence for and and creativity, that will allow them to achieve their desired goal of cultivating a bridge that reaches into the Nepali community and effectively teaches civic education one brushstroke at a time. Kathmandu University, Art+Design and the United Nations Development Programme came together to sponsor "A Federal Life" programme as an educational platform to enable and support local artist and their hopes of sharing and giving voice to civic knowledge among Nepali people through art.
