Memories and Spaces

Memories and Spaces

This course will explore the different spaces that different communities in Nepal have created to remember the past and the roles such spaces play in revitalizing the art, culture, and history of those communities. Students will gain a broad understanding of the oral history, archives, and documentation done by communities in their attempts to retain their identity and ways of knowing. Through their own life experiences and efforts within their own community spaces, participants will learn how to describe and discuss the multiple ways that tradition and modernity interact and shape our communities.
