The Sovereign Forest: Multidimensional exhibition to reflect and discuss pertinent sociopolitical issues

“I learned that the Indian state has been capturing land in Orissa – land inhabited by tribal and indigenous communities for generations – to industrialise it,” a Resource Person (RP) affiliated with Kathmandu Metropolitan City’s Education Department (KMC) shared.

About two dozen educationists, including a few principals of community schools, had assembled at the Nepal Art Council (NAC) during the first weekend of January to engage with Amar Kanwar’s ongoing exhibition, The Sovereign Forest (TSF) . Organised by photo.circle, the exhibition opened in early December 2023 and is free for the public.
