The Spaces That Hold Us

By

Kazi Abtahi Udash

Project statement

In the Newar communities of Kathmandu almost every street corner has a Falcha, a silent witness to generations of life unfolding around it. But as the city grows and modern life accelerates, these communal spaces are fading. Once vibrant gathering places where people rested, conversed and shared traditions, many Falchas now stand abandoned or replaced by concrete structures. The deep connections that were once nurtured here between neighbors and travelers are slowly eroding. What once was a place of exchange and belonging is now a relic of the past, threatened to be turned into mere memories.
