Creative industries look ahead after unrest

As the country reels from turmoil, the creative sector faces heavy losses but also hopes for a resilient return.

Nepal has been shaken by the recent political turmoil, which caused widespread damage and loss of life. The country faced several days of curfew, leaving much of daily life on hold. During this crisis, planned films, theatres, and festivals have faced disruptions, as audiences avoid gatherings and events are postponed or cancelled. Artists and organisers are now facing uncertainty, wondering when and how the country’s cultural life will bounce back.
