Nepali sculpture and modernity debate

An important feature of modern Nepali sculpture is the creative activism of the artists.

The term modernity is widely bandied about in Nepal. It is used to describe diverse fields of life in this country. Those of us who work in the field of arts, literature and theatre use modernism to claim that we have opened up new avenues in the field of experiments and ideas at the same time. That being the case we have begun to define the new forms, experiment and modus operandi of its dissemination as part of the modern consciousness. The favourite candidates for modernism in our areas of work are 'modern literature', 'modern paintings' and lately 'modern sculpture’.
