Ekatako Bitto- The Wall of Unity 2022 On Social Inclusion & Equity
Artudio in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu initiated the Street Art Project focusing on the theme of social inclusion and equity curated by contemporary artist Kailash K Shrestha. By combining cross-cultural exchange, research, workshops, public discourses, and a publication, Artudio intends to wield street art forms to acknowledge, celebrate, promote, inspire, and incite voices of the minority and socially excluded community in Nepal. Artudio also aspires to showcase the creative potential of mural and graffiti art to inspire social change and establish critical public dialogue on key issues of inclusion and equity. To realize this aspiration, Artudio invited Nepali artists to submit their concept designs to be a part of this exciting Street Art project and engaged shortlisted artists in various curatorial engagements in Janakpur and Kathmandu for the final mural project. The project project collaborated with distinguished mural artist Man One from the United States with Nepali artists. The project helped promote collaboration and introspection among the Nepali participating artists on the power of art to inspire change in society. The project also created a platform for underrepresented artists to reach new policymakers on important issues related to inclusion and equity.
