Genius Event 2017– Art about Violence Against Women




This is our first art competition so far. We are very grateful towards Spiny Babbler who gave us an opportunity to participate in the event.  We used sketch pencil (6B) and wax color. To complete this art, it took us an hour of time. We drew different pictures based on different ideas and thoughts of the group. The topic in which we worked is Violence against women.
 
Nowadays People talk lots about the equality between men and women but hesitate to bring into practice.  Women are harassed and not treated well by their own families and societies. In the present context of Nepal, a lot of developmental works are happening with the advancement of technology but still in some part of Nepal people possess conservative beliefs and norms.  In the name of religion, different practices such as deuki pratha, chaupadi pratha, child marriages etc still prevail in Nepal. These kinds of traditions have done adverse effect on both health and mind of the women. Similarly, people still claim some women to be witch (boksi) and perform brutal actions against them.

Therefore, we choose art as the medium to increase awareness in people about violence against women. These kinds of practices must be permanently eradicated from the society. Nepal government should also bring their attention towards this issue and bring strict rules and regulations for the betterment of the women.

Genius Event 2017: Equality and Human Rights

It took us nearly two days to complete our Art work. Thanks to our Art teacher, who inspired us to show our participation in this art event. We used two chart papers, paint and some stationary materials.   We would like to thank the event organizers Spiny Babbler to invite us in this program. In our drawing, we showed the feelings of equality and human rights.  Our topic was Equality and Human Rights. Human right is one of the basic needs required for the people. Right to freedom, right to education, right to health facilities etc are some of the major human rights. We can encounter many cases and people who do lack the basic human rights. People of rural areas still posses conservative beliefs such as differences between the cast system, gender inequality etc. They believe that girls are only for household chores and upbringing children. They aren’t given any opportunities regarding the education and employments. They are bound to marry at young age and look after t...

Genius Event 2017: Art work on Violence against Women

  When we were first told about this art exhibition, we got excited. The name of the organization ‘Spiny Babbler’ itself seems to be full of curiosity. We were happy for getting the opportunity to express our creativity at national level. We began our work on Monday and completed it on Tuesday. We put our hard efforts on this. We chose women violence as our theme for the art because women violence is one of the burning and pandemic issues in Nepal. Our art tries to show how women are victimized of violence and how they are facing the situation. Art is a medium through which we can express our feelings freely. Therefore, in order to express the feelings of women about how they are feeling and how they are living, we made this art. Through this art, we tried to convey the message that women aren’t meant to be born to be the victims of violence. Everyone has the right to live with dignity. We aren’t just trying to show the violence in women but also trying to articula...

The topic which we chose for the art event is yoga and meditation. Yoga and meditation defines the spiritual activities performed for maintaining healthy mind and soul. We can acquire positive vibes with the help of yoga and meditation.   It has also been proved scientifically that yoga and meditation enables us to make our body centered and free from anxiety.
