New Delhi, May. 4 (ANI): A photography exhibition titled "PIX- The Nepal Issue" was recently organised in New Delhi by Goethe-Institute and PIX, a photography quarterly, which depicts the different political and cultural aspects of Nepal.

Several photographers of Nepal exhibited their work showcasing different aspects of the country, such as the after-effects of last year's massive earthquake, the current political scenario and more.

The exhibition and issue of the photography quarterly is a foray into emerging photo narratives in Nepal, historical and contemporary, and the ways in which they mobilize viewership.

Reputed photographers like Nayan Tara, Tanvi Mishra and Akshay Mahajan displayed their work.

 

Photos of raging issues like Madhesi protests, political rallies, the army at work during last year's massive earthquake, and the condition of Nepal before and after the quake were put on display.

"In this exhibition, I learnt much about the situation in Nepal after the earthquake and how people are dealing with it. I also learnt about the political situation in the country, such as the ongoing Madhesi protests. These photos also depict how the army helped people after the quake and how citizens are helping each other." Said Mohini Sharma, a visitor

The exhibition also displayed pictures clicked by people and shared with the organisers on social networking sites. Visitors experienced an outlook into the current socio-political situation in Nepal.

"People have sent their pictures on social networking sites. After getting to see all these, we should help them. We can get in touch on Facebook or Instagram." said Srishti, a visitor

The exhibition will conclude on 7th May 2016.
