Kunsang Gyatso is a visual artist based in Queens, NY. His practice explores the complexities surrounding the self in relation to tradition, culture and history. Concerns regarding his identity tied to his birthplace, Hyolmo, in the Himalayan region of Nepal feature prominently in his work, along with experiences in the diaspora following his immigration into the US. At times dwelling into the personal through lived experiences, memories and dreams, and at others, engaging with the traditional imageries, systems of knowledge and practices, his works seek to negotiate his place in the world, by uncovering lived realities, both inner and outer.
