THE ART OF PARENTING

Conducting fieldwork among middle-class families in Bhaktapur, Nepal in 2018-2019, I found that local parents are concerned with teaching their children the notion of ‘moral measure’. Focusing on the case study of Dor Bahadur and his children around a contested birthday celebration, these artworks examine the role that parent-child interactions play in the making of moral selves among middle-class people in a context of accelerated socio-economic transformation.
