MOHIT CHAUHAN - LIVE IN NEPAL

MOHIT CHAUHAN - LIVE IN NEPAL

Organised By : Nepalese Army Wives Association
Managed By : The Premiere Events

Gifted with mellifluously intense voice that perfectly suits romantic ballads, Mohit Chauhan hardly needs any formal introduction. To name a few, whether it’s the chartbuster ‘Dooba Dooba’ from his debut album ‘Boondein’, romantic ‘Guncha Koi’ from ‘Main Meri Patni Aur Woh’, intense ‘Khoon Chala’ from ‘Rang De Basanti’, nostalgically charged ‘Tum Se Hi’ from ‘Jab We Met’, passionate ‘Kuchh Khaas’ from ‘Fashion’, playful ‘Masakkali’ from ‘Delhi 6’ , the love anthem ‘Pee Loon' from 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai', legendary 'Tum Ho' from 'Rockstar' or latest comical hit 'A la Barfi' from Box Office money spinner ‘Barfi’, Mohit Chauhan has swayed an entire generation to his tunes.

Wisely said to be the maestro A.R. Rahman's absolute favorite, Mohit Chauhan has numerous films on his roster. His craze in India is every musician's sweet dream. Once in Delhi, the crowd went berserk over him and the management lost its control. Thankfully, everything was sorted later. With a massive fan following of 2.6 million on Facebook, he knows how to charm his audience and how!

'It's the struggle that I had to go through makes me more viable and relatable to my audience', said Mohit Chauhan in one of his many interviews, when asked about his dreamy career. He playfully adds, 'I am basically more of a globetrotter now with all the concerts that I do in many places and countries.' Hence, his globetrotting journey lands him to Nepal on the 30th of November, for a concert of a lifetime - The Premiere Events presents 'Rockstar in Nepal' – Mohit Chauhan Live.

Great music, legendary performances, fabulous crowd, what are you waiting for? Mark the date on your calendar, make a note of it, spread the word. Our Nepali roots have instilled in us the humility and the good ways to treat our guests with utter love & respect, let's show the world our hospitality. But mostly, let's celebrate together. LET's ROCK WITH THE ROCKSTAR!!

See you there. :)

Kathmandu Kora Cycling Challenge

Kathmandu Kora Cycling Challenge

 

For three years, the third Saturday of July has been marked as the day when riders from Nepal and different parts of the world ride 50 kilometers around the Kathmandu Valley. Every year the riders ride for a cause. This year they plan to build an eco-designed building for a birthing facility. They plan to make the building earthquake-proof, secure, warm and welcoming because just having a building that meets minimum requirements is not enough. In order to raise the money for building this facility, participants are requested to ask their friends, family members or companies to pledge at least Rs. 100 for every kilometer they ride.

By turning those stories into comics, real-life accounts are made more accessible to younger readers, who are typically more at risk, as well as to those with little or no education. Archer, a celebrated graphics journalist, is also a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow whose works have often been seen in the American Public Media, the BBC and Poynter Institute among others. He has spoken at length about the power of visual storytelling at the Online News Association, Savannah College of Art and Design, Stanford D. School, University of Hawaii-Hilo, and Eurasia Foundation (Moscow). He received an MFA in cartooning from the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont and taught graphics novel at Stanford University for three years.
Archer spent the last six months in Nepal working on a combination of graphics journalism and illustrated reportage to investigate human trafficking.  Scant employment opportunities, low education rates and a fierce determination to provide for their families at any cost has left huge portions of the population vulnerable to traffickers posing as employment brokers promising lucrative jobs in Kathmandu or abroad. The open border with India has been a key asset for traffickers for their operations across the border. Following Archer’s recent exhibition at the Image Ark Gallery, Fr!day caught up with him for a sneak peek into his vivid world.

Storytelling in Graphics

Dan Archer: Graphic Journalist
My eye-opener was seeing a Spanish copy of Joe Sacco’s ‘Palestine’ during my gap year while studying languages at Cambridge. That really woke me up to the possibilities of this art form. But it was a frustrating experience during jury service at the old bailey in London that was my first foray into graphic journalism as I wanted to represent what was going on in the court without using a camera. I looked into journalism schools offering any sort of drawn component but couldn’t find any. So I chose to do an MFA at the Center for Cartoon Studies to learn the craft of visual storytelling and then apply it in a journalistic context. I soon began doing research on local stories and putting together interviews in the form of comics for local publications.

Inspiration and concept behind your work…
My inspiration came from doing my first full length investigation of trafficking in 2009 in collaboration with the Fulbright Program. Fulbright fellow Olga Trusova and I worked on adapting the testimonies of human trafficking survivors from Ukraine into comic format for translation and distribution in risk areas. The project was also supported by the International Organization for Migration, translated into Russian Ukrainian and English with over 10000 copies distributed to local schools and youth centers. That success as well as the attention my graphic history of the Honduran coup in 2009 received got me a place on the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University, the first graphic journalist to be recognized. There I met Madhu Acharya, the founder of the Antenna Foundation in Nepal and now a good friend and colleague. He and I discussed the potential for collaboration in Nepal and the power comics have to reach out to Los literacy communities and to youth at risk. Rather than merely raising awareness of the issue back home in the UK and the US, I wanted to create preventative materials in Nepal that would work at the ground level in reaching out to the next generation of vulnerable young adults.

Blending Art and Journalism…
I think they should have similar goals – using techniques and creative avenues of their field to address social issues in the name of the public good, to give voice to those who would typically not be heard. All writing or photography is an art in the same way image making is, involving degrees of editorial control, cropping, composition and framing. I see graphic journalism as a nod to the illustrated presses that preceded photography, when sketch artists were dispatched to battlefields to capture the action, or the courtroom sketches of today. Illustrated reportage has immediacy, a vitality to it that I think is easily lost in photography by a dint of barrier immediately created when you pull out a camera. That separation of photographer and subject, viewer and viewed is all the more painfully felt in traumatic situations. I believe sketching helps dismantle that hurdle, allowing the subject a chance to see their likeness and the story it forms a part of, defined in a way otherwise impossible through video footage that would be edited and broadcasted in a different country.

Comics for depiction…
I see comics as the distillation of a number of visual communication devices – diagrams, info graphics, maps, sketches, graphs. It’s an extension of the back of the napkin or whiteboard-style visual explainer that many people would use if they were giving directions or telling an elaborate story. I am simply applying another layer of immersion to that style of storytelling, creating a credible world where readers can relive the testimonies of those I interview. I also like to experiment with the potential of the form, such as the option to abandon linear, chronological storytelling and present simultaneously contrasting testimonies in the same visual space, such as my interactive comic on the 2007 Nisoor Square shootings in Baghdad. I always want to continue pushing the envelope of what is simply not possible in text alone.

What next…
I’m rolling out the first project to measure the effectiveness of different forms of awareness-raising media in the field together with my colleagues over this summer. We’re also putting out graphic novels chronicling my experiences as I do so, which interested readers can pre-order at www.archcomix.com. I’ve also been commissioned by local NGOs to produce comics as part of their outreach campaigns, and featured in the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons report for innovative approaches to covering trafficking.
Graphic Voices From Nepal: In nutshell…
Working with the dedicated and professional staff at the Image Ark was a pleasure and they did a great job of transforming the space into a beautiful venue for showcasing my work. Their creativity for tailoring the stories to the decor was great, and it has garnered a great response from the locals from what I hear, who were my primary target audience.

Prospective Perspective…
I’m always eager to focus on human rights stories that might otherwise be overlooked. One future project might involve looking at migrant laborers and the risks they take in search of work as well as looking at the potential links between human trafficking and the drug trade in the Americas.
Minus graphics journalism…
I am a vegetarian and a follower of Buddhism. I am a motorcycle fanatic and also a kick boxer. What I love – the blues sax, eating more than what I probably should and making my wife laugh.
