For the first time ever, Nepal will participate at the Venice Biennale, which this year is set to take place from April 23 to November 27.
Curated by artists Sheelasha Rajbhandari and Hit Man Gurung, the inaugural exhibition will feature the work of multimedia artist Tsherin Sherpa, who is working in collaboration with local artists. The project is co-commissioned by Nepal’s Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, and the Siddhartha Arts Foundation, with support from the Rubin Museum of Art in New York.
