At the Tipping Point: Art and Ecology from the Rooftop of the World (July 2025 - August 2025)

Sagarmatha Next presents: At the Tipping Point: Art and Ecology from the Rooftop of the World
-----------
Framed by the towering Himalayas, this ecological exhibition underscores Nepal’s position as a “ground zero” for climate change. The urgency of the crisis is palpable—melting glaciers threaten global water supplies, erratic weather endangers agriculture, deforestation ravages biodiversity, and rising sea levels imperil coastal life. The extinction of species has upset the delicate balance of oceans, forests, and land, pushing ecosystems to the brink. Through thought-provoking artworks, the exhibition urges collective reflection on the shared consequences of human actions and the urgent need for sustainable stewardship to safeguard our planet.

Feminist Futures: Art, Activism, and South Asian Womanhood (March 2025 - June 2025)

Feminist Futures: Art, Activism, and South Asian Womanhood is an exhibition of ten visionary women artists from across South Asia whose work critically confronts the complex intersections of contemporary feminist thought and the deeply rooted societal structures in the region. The exhibition interrogates the nuanced dynamics of gendered power, exploring themes of patriarchy, colonial legacies, and socio-religious constructs through the lens of art and activism.
