Triennale 2077 began yesterday in which 300+ artworks were shown drawn by over 130 artists from more than 40 countries in 5 venues.

Artists working from numerous aesthetic & cosmological viewpoints and meanings in their works occupy a pivotal role at Kathmandu Triennale 2077, revealing the multiplicities that construct our kaleidoscope global reality. These include practices that have been systematically excluded from the realm of art and labeled as craft, folklore, or at best, “traditional” art by a colonial ethnographic gaze, despite the fact that these practices often perform similar cultural and social functions in their communities as art does in the global society system, and are also constantly evolving and embodying the traces of their contextual transformation and often-disobedient instability.
