KATHMANDU, Nov 19: Siddhartha Arts Foundation’s Education Initiative (SAFEI) in collaboration with Gap Filler, a creative urban regeneration initiative, based in the New Zealand, successfully completed ‘Art and Community Engagement’ workshop on November 18. The four day long workshop was organized at Yala Maya Kendra, Patan Dhoka and was facilitated by Ryan Reynolds from Gap Filler and Gitte Nodentoft from ActionAid.

Individuals from photo.circle, Nepal Art Council, Word Warriors, Women LEAD Nepal, ArTree Nepal, among others, partook in the workshop.
The workshop aimed at developing relationship with other art organizations that have in the past been largely uninvolved in each others’ works. It required relationship building which this workshop was to bring about. Hence, the program explored the different methodologies of community engagement and artistic co-creation.

To complement the training, a mini project is also being developed as a practical course work for the participants. In the project, artists use signage and other aides to point out hidden tangible/intangible aspects of the concerned community in a specific locality or stretch of road. As stated in the press release, the project’s guidelines will include socio political themes such as post-disaster context, government inefficiency, and social deficiency, while also using satire and parody.
