MANISH is a creator of such open spaces and art venues, as well he is a fantastic networker and brings people together. In our conversation, he tells us about his countless projects and future ideas.

This episode marks the grand finale of our series on the URBANSTRIKERS. And, of course, the boss always saves the best for last! To wrap things up, we bring you an interview with the mastermind behind this legendary collective, this movement, and this idea. We sat down for a talk with GIGI, the founder of the URBANSTRIKERS. He tells us how it all began, how it has evolved, about great achievements and setbacks, but above all about the fantastic, heartfelt energy he carries within him. He is truly a good leader who touches people with his positive and motivating charisma, and this comes from his passion, from his heart. He is deeply an idealist and has dedicated this to the city, to urban culture, to people, to art, and to creativity. But above all, to freedom for everybody and open-mindedness. Listen to the interview - it’s online now. An in-depth reportage about the URBANSTRIKERS will follow soon on https://vagabundler.com/south-korea. **GIGI** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindsilverline **URBANSTRIKERS** Namu: https://namu.wiki/w/어반스트라이커즈 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UrbanStrikers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urbanstrikers **Photo: SUYEON LEE** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suyeon_lee0427

In this episode we have another exciting interview of our URBANSTRIKERS series from South-Korea. Piece by piece, you’ll get an interesting reportage about this awesome collective and movement. This time, we’re focusing on painting, drawing, and digital art, but also on emotions, the inner self and the dark parts of it. The amazing artist MOKI empathetically blends his emotions with his creativity, creating fantastic works of art. Sometimes gloomy and dark, sometimes colorful or chaotic - just as life and the emotional world are. The “mainstream” has always disgusted him; he wanted to do things differently, and why shouldn’t that be possible? In the URBANSTRIKERS, he has found exactly that kind of collective which addresses these issues in society and takes creative action against them. We spoke with MOKI about his idealism, his artistic concepts, and his works, as well as how he came to join the crew. The audio is now online, listen in!

SHRADDHA SHRESTHA is a street artist, illustrator and muralist from Kathmandu and active since around 2011 she is one of the leading figures in Nepal’s emerging urban art scene. Her work is characterized by colorful, often imaginative figures inspired by her childhood and traditional cultural influences from the city of Patan. In her murals she combines urban graffiti aesthetics with local motifs and stories. In addition to creating in public spaces, she also works as an illustrator and is part of the VIRANGANA COLLECTIVE, which published the first comic anthology in Nepal created exclusively by women.

The fantastic artist ROG from the Sanepa neighborhood in Lalitpur is a true multi talent. He got his start with the legendary ART LAB collective, which unfortunately no longer exists. But perhaps that’s just the way it had to be, and the members have gone their separate ways with their own projects. New collectives, groups, and projects have emerged and you simply can’t stop creative energy. And after that those former members even developed much more. ROG doesn’t just go with the flow of this energy; he harnesses it, builds upon it, motivates, connects, and links. He brings people, groups, ideas, and energies together. He is a connector. With a deep love for graffiti and urban art. We sat down for an interview with this fantastic person. This came after we were in a meeting with a group of other crazy artists to launch a streetart festival in the city with good cause. If you come to Nepal and want to do something creative, with ideas, or want to bring projects to life, then get in touch with him. He is the man! Here is the audio to listen to, but a comprehensive article with many photos will follow soon at www.vagabundler.com. **ROG - DEEPSOXIETY** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rog_ism Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepsoxiety **TAG THEORY** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tagtheory **ART LAB - not existing anymore, but photos** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artlablife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tagtheory **VAGABUNDLER** Nepal Map: https://vagabundler.com/nepal

We had a fantastic interview with KIRAN MAHARJAN, better known by his artist name H11235.

All of Kathmandu and Lalitpur is filled with small stores and shops, many of which are art-related. They sell canvases, often of very high quality and created by local artists. But these places are just retail outlets. Where do the artworks actually come from? Who creates them, and who even teaches the artists how to do this? We visited the artist and art teacher KUMAR LAMA at his art school OLD MONASTERY THANKA AND ART PAINTING SCHOOL, and spoke with him about his creative space and the art presented. Currently 45 teachers work there and more than 100 students are taking part at the program. Also joining the interview was KUSFU TAMANG, who is an artist herself but also works at the art enterprise and is his daughter. We spoke with both in an interview about the school, the artworks and the background behind. This space is an art education program that has been in operation for many generations. **OLD MONASTERY THANKA AND ART PAINTING SCHOOL** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oldmonasterythanka **VAGABUNDLER** Nepal Map: https://vagabundler.com/nepal
