Nepali artist to exhibit ‘Chhyaki’ at Venice Biennale collateral exhibition

Nepali visual artist and photographer Jyoti Shrestha, 29, will exhibit her photography collection ‘Chhyake’ in the official collateral exhibition ‘Personal Structures’ at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026. Organized by the European Cultural Centre (ECC), the exhibition runs from May 9 to November 22, 2026, and features 150 international artists. Shrestha’s work explores intergenerational shame, body politics, and identity, drawing on the Nepali word ‘Chhyake’—meaning scars from skin disease—to examine inherited perceptions of ugliness within her family.
