Bikalpa Art Center announces an open call for participation for the next upcoming project ‘Revisiting the roots in a modern nuance’. We expect a wide range of applications from visual artists, theater/ performance artists, musicians, literature and poetry, and any other unconventional disciplines.
A brief introduction of ‘Revisiting the Roots in a Modern Nuance’
The exhibition ‘Revisiting the roots in a modern nuance’ will feature multidisciplinary artworks, literature, and music. The main purpose of the exhibition is to retrospect the roots, origins, and diversity as well as to bridge the thread of modern contemporary aspirations from the early 60s to the current neo-national ultra-modern context. The exhibition, thus, embraces the subtle differences and nuances in the art scene of not only in the past and present Nepal, but as a whole, in regards to how these different eras blend together into one harmonized art world. With the exhibition, we hope to create a narrative and promote Nepali Contemporary Art, Culture, and Lifestyle to the wider audience and market across the borders.
The exhibition will take place in multiple venues in Kathmandu and Patan. The exhibition is planned for three weeks in late February/ March depending on the covid situation and will take place in multiple venues in Kathmandu and Patan.
