Introduction to Bindu, Space for Artists’
Bindu, space for artist became active from the year 2006; its work station located at Kupondol, Lalitpur, Nepal.
The story behind naming this organization Bindu is that every beginning starts from a single essential source- the point or ‘Bindu’. Bindu, Space for Artists’ is a gathering of artists committed in bringing together various aspects of fine arts to materialize a common ground for innovative art practitioners to share and develop imaginative concepts and visions. The conventional meaning of Bindu is found limited within the periphery of traditional meanings. Therefore, through our exercise we are in pursuit to redefine the meaning of Bindu itself.

The contemporary world is emerging with new conscience that is developing with the newly found sense of individuality and search of freedom. In this process artists employing multiple mediums are working hand in hand with fellow local artists as well as are traveling various countries and cultures to formulate their visionary expressions. This pursuit has undoubtedly contributed in building up a collective understanding of the concept of universe and existence in general. Science, Art, Politics, Economics, Religion are intertwined today, indicating a greater picture, a bigger responsibility that mankind has to fulfill for the betterment of surroundings.
Bindu has been proceeding its activities through international and national collaborative workshop, exhibitions, interaction program, research and seminars.
We live in a world of differences. Our world is comprised of different perspective and attitudes. This is how mankind has perceived their surroundings and Bindu is here to celebrate all these differences by magnetizing them together in establishing a liberal space for the artists and art admirers.
