Steps to Dreams: Artists with intellectual disabilities
The Patan Museum in Lalitpur recently hosted "Sapanaka Paila" (Steps to Dreams), an exhibition showcasing paintings by nine artists with intellectual disabilities. Organized by Mikha Creative Begins, the showcase featured works by artists including Sama Bajracharya and Sandhya Singh, whose vibrant depictions of nature, animals, and personal aspirations often bypass traditional artistic conventions. The exhibition served as a platform for these individuals to communicate complex emotions and dreams that they are often unable to express through verbal language.
