Event Description: Mount Mercy University’s Associate Professor of Art Kathryn Hagy, M.F.A, will present “Between Yesterday and Today: Contemporary Art in Nepal,” during a special Global Issues Series on Thursday, March 8 at 7:00 p.m. in Basile Hall’s Flaherty Community Room. The lecture is free and open to the public, seating may be limited. Hagy's presentation will examine work from the last decade by six Nepalese artists and delves into questions such as how today's artists align themselves between their ancient arts and their contemporary context. What is the conversation about globalism and its impact on artists in Nepal? How do artists deal with social pressures? Is their work directly affected by these pressures?
