Nepalese Arts and Culture are at crossroads today wanting to be recognized, acknowledged, appreciated and reassessed. Nepalese youth and children in the diaspora need to understand its value. Dr. Dina Bangel specializes in 'putting life' to Nepalese arts whereby she teaches meanings of each piece of arts (sculpure, statue, paintings) and culture.
Dina Bangdel received her Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1999. Her primary areas of specialization are South Asian/Indian art and Himalayan art, with secondary areas of interests relating to the issues of gender and identity in South Asian contemporary art and film. Her current research focuses on the art and ritual traditions of Newar Buddhism in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal and the development of Tantric Buddhist iconography of the Himalayan regions, principally Nepal and Tibet. She also served as co-curator in the recent exhibition on Tantric Buddhist art, Circle of Bliss: Buddhist Meditational Art, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Columbus Museum of Art in 2004. At VCU, Dr Bangdel teaches courses on the art and architecture of South Asia, arts of Tibet and Nepal, contemporary arts of South Asia, and South Asian film.
Please do not miss out this unique opportunity in learning where Nepalese arts and culture stand today and actions that could be taken in strengthening our beloved heritage.
