BEINGHUMAN GOES TO KATHMANDU, NEPAL.
Remember beinghuman? The collective that I am now part of…
WELL, we are going to Nepal for the Kathmandu International Art Festival; beinghuman’s director Gaynor O’Flynn has curated the British Chapter of this wonderful festival!
beinghuman is a cross discipline, media & arts collective that supports fair trade in the arts, working with artists who create art for a more positive, peaceful world.
The artist’s supporting the event have donated their time & work for free but we need to raise enough money for travel, expenses & production costs. We will be working, collaborating, teaching & creating new work with local artists from the Nepalese & Tibetan Community in Exile.
The festival believes in the power of art for social change. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, half the population lives below the poverty line. Do your part in helping support creativity and sustainability in Nepal.
We have had such amazing support from established British artist’s: Turner Prize Winner, Richard Long is Patron of the event, Royal Academy artist David Nash OBE & land artist Chris Drury are exhibiting beautiful video works and award winning photographer Kevin Cummins is creating exciting site specific work. They have all been so generous with their work & time & I really hope you can offer just a brief moment of your time to think about this project and maybe even donate a few pennies! ($1 = £0.66)
What does creativity and sustainability within the arts and this digtal age entail?
How can we use this within a disadvantaged community to support social change?
