Nepal Today

While in the West photography seems to have lost its way amid the endless proliferation of images since the advent of the digital era, photographic practice across the Global South remains widespread and supported by research and production centres of international standing. This volume presents the work of three contemporary Nepalese photographers, Uma Bista, Sagar Chhetri, and Kishor Sharma, united by their engagement with social, political, and gender-related issues. Their projects reflect the transformations currently reshaping Nepal, where the language of images foregrounds the social responsibility of the photographer, going far beyond traditional reportage and documentary inquiry.
