The latest edition of the Triennale will take place from 27 October-27 November 2021. Organised by Siddhartha Arts Foundation, Kathmandu Triennale named Cosmin Costinas, Director and Curator of Para Site, Hong Kong, as the Artistic Director of the upcoming edition, and invited Nepal-based artists Hit Man Gurung and Sheelasha Rajbhandari as Curators. As an acknowledgement to the Triennale’s deep rooting in the art and viewpoints of Nepal, as well as of the multiple temporal displacements the Covid-19 pandemic has brought, the Triennale has decided to mark its next edition as Kathmandu Triennale 2077 – the current year of the Nepali calendar. The change of emphasis towards this ancestral system of counting time is in solidarity with the many efforts to decolonise references that the Triennale seeks to present in its programme.
