"Unveiling the Art of Nepal’s Diverse Scripts" – Akshyarko Yatra Exhibition
In a celebration of Nepal’s rich cultural heritage, the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) has launched the ‘Akshyarko Yatra’ art exhibition, showcasing the artistic and cultural significance of Nepal’s diverse scripts. The exhibition, which opened on Wednesday, was inaugurated by Kathmandu Metropolitan City Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol, who emphasized the importance of preserving Nepal’s traditional scripts.
A Symphony of Scripts
The exhibition, featuring over 40 artworks from prominent artists, takes viewers on a journey through the world of Nepali scripts, from the intricate calligraphy of traditional manuscripts to modern interpretations of ancient symbols. "Letters are not just written symbols, but expressions of art and emotion," said NAFA Chancellor Naradmani Hartamchali. "By integrating letters with colours, lines, and shapes, artists can convey deeper meanings and aesthetic values."
A Journey Through Time
The exhibition also delves into the history of Nepali scripts, tracing the origins of modern scripts to 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian phonetic symbols. According to Member Secretary Devendra Kumar Kafle ‘Thumkeli’, future editions of the exhibition will feature even more Nepali scripts, allowing visitors to explore the evolution of written communication in the country.
The Power of Human Expression
Head of the Multidimensional and Creative Arts Department, Saurganga Darshandhari, emphasized the significance of scripts in human expression. "Every language has its own script, and artists have creatively embedded their emotions into these artworks," she said. "We are grateful to all the participating artists for their contribution to this unique cultural celebration."
A Token of Appreciation
During the event, participating artists were awarded certificates, and the chief guest received a token of appreciation. The exhibition, which will run until April 6, is a must-visit for anyone interested in Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and the art of script-making.
Artwork Highlight
In addition to the stunning artworks on display, the exhibition features two striking photographs showcasing the intricate details of Nepali script designs. The first image, captured by NAFA, shows a close-up of a traditional handwritten manuscript, while the second, taken by an anonymous photographer, features a vibrant wall painting of a Nepali script design.
By showcasing the artistic and cultural significance of Nepal’s diverse scripts, the ‘Akshyarko Yatra’ exhibition is a testament to the country’s rich cultural heritage and the importance of preserving its traditional scripts for future generations.
