Workshop

Collaboration with Mithila Art

The contemporary world is emerging with new conscience that is developing with the newly found sense of individuality and search of freedom. In this process artists are employing multiple mediums and are traveling foreign countries and cultures to certify their visionary expressions. This pursuit has undoubtedly contributed in building up a collective understanding of the concept of universe and existence in general. However, today, local culture and nativity of various nations are also adding up in the world art dimensions giving the idea of art a broader magnitude. In this regard Bindu organized two weeks workshop at Janakpur, a Tarai region in Nepal2006. Janakpur is very popular in Nepal for its unique cultural and traditional artistic aspects. This workshop by Bindu attempted to bring in the attitude and patterns of folk art of Janakpur in the contemporary art. For that we invited two artists from Bangladesh, there were two artists from Nepal and five folk artists from Janakpur. The basic idea was to initiate creative interaction, share their mind frame and see what the output would be. The result was compelling and quite new in the contemporary art sector. The folk artists of Janakpur were equally excited. Later the artworks were exhibited at Siddhartha Art Gallery, Kathmandu.
