How did music propel a Maoist revolution in Nepal? Prasiit Sthapit’s series “Moonsongs for Earth” (2022-ongoing) investigates the complex role of musicians in the country’s Maoist insurrection.
Featured in Aperture’s spring 2024 issue, “Counter Histories,” produced in partnership with Magnum Foundation, which showcases the work of a range of international photographers who explore the creative possibilities offered by the gaps, absences, and silences in historical records.
