Remote Art

“Travel broadens the mind.”

Everest is in many ways still a blank canvas. It’s still as high, cold, and formidable as it ever was. How one chooses to climb it is as much a reflection of creativity as skill. There is always a new way to approach something, and Everest is no different.

The “Journey Towards Our Future” exhibition of the Mount Everest 8848 Art Project was held at the Hotel Shangrila in Lazimpat, Nepal by Da Mind Tree. It was described as a visual symposium on upcycling of waste material from Mount Everest.

Over the decades that adventurers have sought to summit Mount Everest thousands of pounds of trash have been left behind. In an effort to bring attention to the situation local Nepali artists have upcycled works of art using the materials from previous expeditions and presented their works in this exhibition.
