'Kathmandu Triennale 2077 takes place 11 February – 31 March, 2022, across five culturally and historically significant venues in Kathmandu, in three clusters: Patan, Boudha, Kathmandu. Slated to be the largest presentation of contemporary art in Nepal to date, the Triennale exhibits works by over 130 artists and collaborators from more than 40 nations. A robust public programme of artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, guided tours and other events are also held alongside the exhibition.' - extracted from the Kathmandu Triennale website

'In Kathmandu Triennale 2077, a central position is occupied by artists working with and from within multiple aesthetic and cosmological perspectives and meanings in their works, manifesting the multiplicities that construct our kaleidoscopic global reality. These include practices that have been systematically excluded from the realm of art and designated by a colonial ethnographic gaze as craft, folklore, or at best, "traditional" art, even though these practices often perform analogous cultural and social functions in their communities as art does in the system of global society, and are also constantly evolving and embodying the traces of their contextual transformation and of this often-disobedient instability. In this line of thinking, Kathmandu Triennale 2077 is particularly interested in contemporary practices where Indigenous perspectives operate in the field of technology, where bodies and traditions are queered, where masks and rituals are the site of continuously negotiated identities rather than essences, and where folklore is the battlefield of decoloniality, counterculture, and criticality.' - excerpt from curatorial note by Artistic Director Cosmin Costinas
