ART-ing Workshop #2:
Mithila arts and
gender equality
With young Mithila artist & Nub Raj Bhandari
(Janaki Women Awareness Society, Nepal).
In Nepal, Mithila paintings are one of the local art forms explored in the MAP ‘Picturing Past, Present and Future (PPPF)’. Mithila art is a traditional art form from the ancient Mithila kingdom of Nepal. Historically, it has been used to depict religious rituals, nature and agricultural scenes, but increasingly, it is being used to convey contemporary issues, such as raising awareness of gender equality.
