#16 Days Art Project
- 14 December, 2020
In solidarity with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence movement, four of our alumni came together to create art pieces that represented the violence faced by many women in Nepali society. These art pieces are a celebration, a representation, and an ode to the women whoтАЩve survived, who are still living, and who stand against systemic violence against women in our society.
More Than Just a Hashtag
Puja Rana Thapa (2015 LEADer)
A UNESCO research suggests that 73% of women have already been exposed to or have experienced some form of online violence.
This piece represents a form of cyber VAWG through social media hypocrisy.
#stopviolenceagainstwomenanadgirls needs to be more than just a hashtag. Until and unless minds are educated, there is no point of advocating against violence. You cannot create change just by liking a post and harboring a patriarchal mindset. Change your mind first before you change your Instagram hashtags!
The Formidable Lady
Nikki Gautam (2018 LEADer)
WeтАЩve [women] been placed inside boxes of stereotypes that most people only understand in their colors. YouтАЩre told youтАЩre free only to be trapped in an endless cycle of discrimination through acted gestures of kindness. Victims of the same system, we are made to believe this is reality and we cannot change it even though amazing women are embracing themselves and growing every day. To all our amazing women; we see you, we admire you and we are proud of you. Thank you for trying every day to love and accept yourself for the way you are and not the way society wants you to be. And to whoever has gone through tough times of violence, I want you to know; it was not your fault. So love yourself, accept yourself, and no matter what other people tell you, always remember that you are amazing no matter what your weight, skin color, or sexual preference might be. This image is a celebration of all of these amazing women.
Lots of love and warm hugs!
Silent Love
Sneha Manandhar (2014 LEADer)
тАЬSilent LoveтАЭ came to Sneha after she was inspired by the poem тАЬI Got Flowers TodayтАЭ by Paulette Kelly. The poem stood as a testament to the violence faced by women at the hands of their partners, a devastating reality only given more credence through the plethora of statistics on domestic violence. This image is a representation and an ode to all the battered women whoтАЩre in relationships that they want to walk out on.
рдКрдиреА
Reeya Rayamajhi (2018 LEADer)
Reeya wrote тАЬрдКрдиреАтАЭ when she was in Class 10. Based on a real incident that happened to her while was on her way back from her coaching classes. She was deeply traumatized by the way society treated the elderly, she penned down her feeling that night in an attempt to represent some of the most voiceless in our society.
