BOXES TAKE A TREK TO NEPAL

The purpose of the trek is to facilitate communication and understanding between an international group of women and Nepali women by using the boxes as a universal, non-verbal tool for sharing the common visions, hopes and experiences of women throughout the world.

How can we (in spite of our multiple language capacities) communicate with these women? Although we will have two educated Nepali women with us, communication, especially personal communication, will not be easy. Therefore, my desire to use the exhibit, "Women Beyond Borders," as a tool to facilitate communication.

The universal language of art and the themes so vividly depicted by the boxes unite women across and beyond borders. The capacity of these boxes to "share the visions, dreams and hopes of women around the world" will enable us to establish immediate rapport with our hosts.
