Greetings all+++

As we prepare to go into lockdown again here in Kathmandu soon, we wish you a safe week ahead.

We wanted to share with you the link for the online exhibition/website The Skin of Chitwan that we launched this past weekend. For those of you who missed the launch presentation/s, you can watch the recording here.

Link to the online exhibition/website: skinofchitwan.nepalpicturelibrary.org

We would love your feedback please!

The online exhibition is accompanied by a series of talks, presentations and conversations. Please find below details for the first panel discussion coming up this weekend:

There is much to grieve and rescue of what we have lost. And much to reclaim – our stories, our songs, our histories and indigenous knowledge systems – from the violence of erasure. For this panel we have invited eight independent cultural workers who are doing innovative work towards creating spaces for intergenerational learning and building archives for the future. What has been possible for them and how? What are concerns around appropriation, authorship, access? 

*Presentations will take place in Nepali.

Please register in advance for this meeting:

We write with a request as well:

As we know, information is extremely important for dealing with the current pandemic. When the right information is in the right hands, at the right time, we believe it can save many lives.

These last two months, we have been part of initiating COVID Samchar Samuha - a volunteer collective of public health, communications, and grassroots development experts that seeks to create and disseminate critical information related to Covid-19 response in the local Nepali context. Our team combines proven public health research from across the globe with practical knowledge to create tools that are directly used on the grassroots level, and are shared with policy-makers in local, provincial, and national-level government stakeholders. Given the severity of the pandemic, we favor speed, feedback, and revision. All of the materials we create, and the information we share, is free and accessible to the public.

We need your support to help push dissemination. Our goal this week is to increase traffic on our social media feeds so that the info-campaign can reach more people.  

1. Please follow/like Covid Sanchar Samuha on social media:

3. This information can help to save lives. Please help us build traffic and spread the word. Please share posts from our feeds regularly so people in your personal networks see these messages. 

Please take good care and stay safe!
