About ArTree Nepal
Consisting of artists from five indigenous communities of Nepal — Sheelasha Rajbhandari (Newa), Hit Man Gurung (Gurung), Lavkant Chaudhary (Tharu), Mekh Limbu (Limbu), and Subas Tamang (Tamang) — ArTree Nepal practices contemporary art with the belief that art has deep roots in social practice. The mainstream narrative of Nepal and its surrounding region have excluded the stories and experiences of numerous marginalised, underprivileged and Indigenous communities.
