Nepal Picture Library is pleased to announce the commencement of a new project, “Indigenous Pasts, Sustainable Futures”. We initiate this project as part of NPL’s ongoing endeavor to document, archive and present Nepal’s marginalized histories. As with our other projects, we are looking for innovative ways to engage with our pasts. For this project, we will explore traditional knowledge systems, design and material cultures, as well as a diverse selection of material objects, to examine indigenous forms of conservation and sustainability. Our goal is to archive indigenous pasts by exploring material objects as primary witnesses to history.
