—What’s special about Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now is that it really juxtaposes contemporary Himalayan artists with historical work, and so it makes it clear that we’re a people that are living in the present, and we’re not just a past relic. Our identities are evolving over time.
IMAGINE (a.k.a Sneha Shrestha)
Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now is a contemporary group exhibition of 32 artists from the Himalayas, Asia, and diaspora whose artworks are presented alongside objects from the Rubin Museum’s collection.
