Overview

Deluxe Printed Edition! More Pages, More pictures, More Stories than the E-Book! From Bhutan's silent temple walls to Kathmandu's vibrant, mural-covered streets-this book is a journey into one of Asia's most dynamic urban art scenes. For over two decades, street art documentarian Jacqueline Hadel has wandered cities around the world, camera in hand, listening to the stories painted on their walls. After a year in Bhutan, where murals are sacred and hidden from lenses, they moved to Kathmandu for the summer of 2025-a city alive with color, protest, and imagination. Kathmandu (Street Art) Calling: From Prayer Flags to Spray Cans is both visual archive and personal travelogue. Through stunning, authentic photography and immersive storytelling, the book explores: The evolution of Nepal's street art from political protest to contemporary expression Mural-rich neighborhoods like Patan, Thamel, Bouddha, and Lazimpat Themes of spirituality, feminism, social justice, mythology, and migration The techniques, textures, and impermanence of Kathmandu's living walls The author's raw process of ethical, unstaged street art documentation Featuring dozens of original photographs taken in public spaces-with deep respect for both named and anonymous artists-this book captures a fleeting moment in Kathmandu's visual history. More than a guide or photo collection, Kathmandu (Street Art) Calling is a love letter to urban art and its ability to transcend borders, amplify unheard voices, and remind us that the walls of every city are already speaking.
