We are an artivist organization that begun in 2007. Our main agenda is social reform through art. We seek to have our art community be more involved with social issues
NexUs is the brain child of a successful Nepalese artivist community organisation: LASANAA. It means art in Newari, the indigenous language group of Kathmandu. LASANAA has successfully driven art projects since 2007, bringing Nepali artists, art and the community together to explore ideas, promote art and artivism, and collaboration. Check out what we do here: www.lasanaa.org.
NexUs is based in central Kathmandu, an easy access point for people across the city. A three storey building that will include a cafe, artists residency rooms and studio, an event terrace and garden. All the materials used are being recycled and upcycled.
NexUs will become a self funding social enterprise via the book / art cafe, the sale of artworks contributed by members, the organic farmers market and the artist in residence program.
