NPL at UNSEEN!

Nepal Picture Library was invited to participate at UNSEEN as part of the collectives show from 22-24 Sept, 2017.

We presented photo.circle and Nepal Picture Library to a new audience and build relationships for future collaborations in Europe. Although the exhibition was from the archives of Nepal Picture Library, it gave us an opportunity to present what photo.circle has been doing since its establishment 10 years ago. The UNSEEN CO-OP platform was a great base for exchange and generated important reflections on visual archives.

Additionally it allowed us to meet fellow collectives, artists and gallery representatives. It also allowed us to interact with new audience and present archival and contemporary works coming out of Nepal.

The trip was possible with the support from The Prince Claus Fund.
