NexUs is the brain child of a successful Nepalese artivist community organisation: LASANAA. It means art in Newari, the indigenous language group of Kathmandu. LASANAA has successfully driven art projects since 2007, bringing Nepali artists, art and the community together to explore ideas, promote art and artivism, and collaboration. Check out what we do here: www.lasanaa.org. NexUs is based in ce
ntral Kathmandu, an easy access point for people across the city. A three storey building that will include a cafe, artists residency rooms and studio, an event terrace and garden. All the materials used are being recycled and upcycled. NexUs will become a self funding social enterprise via the book / art cafe, the sale of artworks contributed by members, the organic farmers market and the artist in residence program. It is a space that is so desperately needed in Kathmandu. Up until this point the community have not had a central space to gather to creatively and critically think, collaborate, create meaning and heal.
