About Mobile Library, Asia Art Archive

Mobile Library is a periodic initiative organised in partnership with cultural collaborators in different countries throughout Asia to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. By co-organising events and enabling the circulation of printed matter, this programme activates new possibilities to engage with art as a form of knowledge. 
Previous editions of Mobile Library were organised in Vietnam (2011), Sri Lanka (2013) and Myanmar (2014). Asia Art Archive (AAA) and Siddhartha Arts Foundation (SAF) will initiate Mobile Library: Nepal that will run from February to November 2021 in Kathmandu and Janakpur.
The intention to set up such a library is to provide materials, and through its ideas – to artists, students and educators, and extend support to the local arts ecosystem. This project seeks to build infrastructure and provide foundational support to community-based, collaborative initiatives as well as universities, and to enrich reference points to the geographies within Asia and beyond. The content of the Mobile Library collection will be used as a point of departure, from which discursive and educational programmes will take place throughout the project.
