A story spanning over a decade, and some more.
Join us in Nepal Art Council from 19th June to 21st June to experience how one portrait taken in a tea shop on a trip to Tsho Rolpa back in 2010 AD kept a photographer coming back to it again and again, to a point where he made his heart to return the portrait, not just as it was, but as an inimitable gift— as a painting, to the nameless stranger somewhere in the hills of Dolakha.
This is a story of a search, to see behind the compositions and frames, to the reality of the person whose photo changed its photographer. Will he find her for whom he has brought this art as a gift? And if he does, what place does art have in the simple, sometimes brutal, life of an ordinary person?
We have an exhibition in three forms: photography (from Documentary Photographer Nabin Baral), painting (from Artist Bishnu Pariyar), and a documentary excerpt (from RPPS). Come and be a witness to this tale.
Mark your calendars! 📅
PS. Docu screening times will be available soon.
