आर्टुडियोको अन्तरास्ट्रिय कला रेसिडेन्सि कार्यक्रम आन्तर्गत दुइ पोलिश कलाकारहरु आन्ना र बारबरा ब्रेल्लाको प्रदर्शनि "दि सेकेन्ड इमर्शन" प्रदर्शनीमा

आर्टुडियोको अन्तरास्ट्रिय कला रेसिडेन्सि कार्यक्रम आन्तर्गत दुइ पोलिश कलाकारहरु आन्ना र बारबरा ब्रेल्लाको प्रदर्शनि "दि सेकेन्ड इमर्शन" आर्टुडियोमा शुरु भयेको छ ।दुबै कलाकार आर्टुडियोको इन्टरनेशनल आर्टिस्ट रेसिडेन्सी (एआईएआर) कार्यक्रमको भागको रूपमा हालै अप्रिल महिनाको लागि उक्त कार्यक्रममा सहभागि कलाकारहरु हुन ।

उनिहरुले सन १९८१ मा नेपाल भ्रमण गर्दा नेपालका बिभिन्न ठाउहरुको तस्बिर कैद गरेका थिए र रेसिडेन्सिमा पुन सोहि ठाऊहरुको पुन भ्रमण गरि फोटो खिचेका थिए। १९८१ देखि हालसम्मको नेपालमा उनीहरूको फोटोग्राफिक यात्राले समय, ठाउँ, सम्झना, इतिहास, सस्क्रिति र विकासको मंत्रमुग्ध अन्वेषण प्रदान खुल्ला बाटो कोर्दछ ।

उनीहरूको १९८१ यी तस्बिरहरूले नेपालको अबिस्मरणिय इतिहासको मार्मिक अनुस्मारकको रूपमा काम गर्दछ, हाम्रा पूर्ण रूपमा हिउँले ढाकिएको पहाडहरू, प्रकृतिसँग मिल्दोजुल्दो गाँउघरहरू, र परम्परागत ज्ञान र शिल्प कौशलले फस्टाएको समुदायहरूद्वारा सजिएको पुरानो युगमा पुर्‍याउँछ। उनिहरुको लेन्स मार्फत, हामीले नेपालको विविधताको सार पुनः पत्ता लगाउँन सजिलो बनाउदछ।

साँच्चै चाखलाग्दो कुरा भनेको अन्ना र बारबराको नेपालको एउटै क्षेत्रहरूमा हालैको यात्रामा विगत र वर्तमानको गहिरो संयोजन हो, जहाँ उनीहरूले रेसिडेन्सी कार्यक्रमको क्रममा उनीहरूको लेन्सबाट समय, ठाउँ र मानिसहरूका भावनाहरू र सम्झनाहरूलाई सुन्दर रूपमा कैद गर्दै प्रदर्शनिमा समाबेश गरेकाछन । उनीहरूका तस्बिरहरूले १९८१ को नेपालको ऐतिहासिक परिदृश्य र समकालीन समाजको जीवन्त बर्तमानलाई सहज रूपमा जोड्ने बहु-स्तरीय कथा प्रस्तुत गर्दछ।

रेसिडेन्सीको नतिजाको एक हिस्साको रूपमा यो प्रदर्शनी, "द सेकेन्ड इमरसन" नेपालि कला समुदाय तथा दर्सकहरु मा प्रस्तुत गर्न पाउदा कलाकार तथा क्युरेटर द्द्य कैलाश के श्रेस्ठ र कृषा ताम्राकार खुसि अनुभुत गर्दै प्रदर्शित ऐतिहासिक क्रितिहरु आर्टुडियोमा सङ्रहित गर्न पाएकोमा गर्बित महसुस भयेको बताउछन , किनभने यो नेपालको स्थायी भावना र कलाको उत्कृष्ट शक्तिको प्रमाण हो र अब यो आर्टुडियोमा सङ्रहित हुने छ ।

आर्टुडियोको अन्तरास्ट्रिय कला रेसिडेन्सि कार्यक्रम सन २०१६ देखि नै सन्चालन्मा छ र अहिले सम्म अमेरिका, नेदरल्यान्ड लगायत्का कलाकार्हरुलाइ कार्यक्रममा सहभागि गराइसकेको छ र यो कार्यक्रममा विश्व भरिका कलाकार्हरुलाइ खुल्ला आबेदन मार्फत एक देखि ६ महिना सम्म सहभागि भै आफ्नो कला प्रस्तुत गर्ने र नेपाल सङग सास्क्रितिक आदान प्रदानको एक महत्वपुर्ण मन्च प्रदान गर्दछ ।
