UNI Assistant Professor Riva Nayaju is an architect and graphic designer specializing in typography, motion graphics, and print design. This exhibition represents her expressive work in watercolor and ink showcasing the temples, houses and streets of her home country Nepal. A daily painting challenge since the summer of 2024, each painting is a narrative,
"a silent conversation with the past, reflecting Kathmandu's timeless charm and
spiritual essence."

Forsberg Riverside Galleries
A collection exhibition to accompany Riva Nayaju's, Echoes of Kathmandu Valley. These striking, fragile masks and figures from Nepal reflect the complex culture and history of
that country. The objects were a bequest to the Waterloo Center for the Arts in 2019 by
the Kohler Foundation whose many initiatives include the preservation of art by
self-taught artists.
