DescriptionNoorisha studied MA Graphic Design Communication at Camberwell College of Arts. She says, ''Unveiling the Vestige Expressions' is a collaborative endeavour with the diasporic Newar community living in the UK. A transformative learning toolkit focused on preserving the unique Newar script and language emerges through the process. It represents a celebration of my culture, a show of solidarity, and recollection, rooted in shared experiences, workshops, and cultural exchanges.
This toolkit serves as a dynamic bridge between tradition and modernity. It goes beyond characters, unlocking stories within each stroke to foster language retention and a deeper connection to Newar heritage. An ode to enduring expressions, this project invites both the Newar diaspora and enthusiasts into a journey of cultural pride. “Unveiling the Vestige Expressions” celebrates the resilience of the Newar community, ensuring their linguistic legacy not only survives but thrives in the contemporary world'.
