The Center, together with the Department of Art and Culture of the Girija Prasad Koirala Foundation, is showcasing the artworks at Thamel-based Mithila Yain Art Gallery since Wednesday.
The artworks by 50 Bangladeshi artists and Nepal's senior artists, Shyam Sundar Yadav and Sijon Pokharel, are being displayed in the exhibition, which also showcases artworks of British artist Nausin Farjana and Danish artist Susana Herenssinimi.
