Deluxe Printed Edition! More Pages, More pictures, More Stories than the E-Book!
From Bhutan’s silent temple walls to Kathmandu’s vibrant, mural-covered streets—this book is a journey into one of Asia’s most dynamic urban art scenes.
For over two decades, I have wandered cities around the world, camera in hand, listening to the stories painted on their walls. After a year in Bhutan, where murals are sacred and hidden from lenses, I moved to Kathmandu for the summer of 2025—a city alive with color, protest, and imagination.
Kathmandu (Street Art) Calling: From Prayer Flags to Spray Cans is both visual archive and personal travelogue. Through authentic photography and immersive storytelling, my new book explores:
- The evolution of Nepal’s street art from political protest to contemporary expression
- Mural-rich neighborhoods like Patan, Thamel, Bouddha, and Lazimpat
- Themes of spirituality, feminism, social justice, mythology, and migration
- The techniques, textures, and impermanence of Kathmandu’s living walls
- My raw process of ethical, unstaged street art documentation
Featuring dozens of original photographs taken in public spaces—with deep respect for both named and anonymous artists—this book captures a fleeting moment in Kathmandu’s visual history.
More than a guide or photo collection, Kathmandu (Street Art) Calling is a love letter to urban art and its ability to transcend borders, amplify unheard voices, and remind us that the walls of every city are already speaking.
