| Summary: | The following article analyses the development of contemporary printmaking in the country of Nepal through the last centuries. It focuses on the feminine and feminist, social and political, representation of Nepalese women in relation to the traditional worship of the goddess, or Śakti, by means of the use of the color red as a signifier of her creative and destructive energy. Beginning with the symbology of red as the color of the feminine within the ancestral tantric thought, it continues with the Nepalese printmaking traditional techniques and its adaptation to the new methodologies imported from the West. It is from a selection of female printmaking artists that this article studies how contemporary Nepalese art uses the red color as a symbol of both the feminine, the cult of the goddess and Nepaliness; as well as of the feminist ́s social claim, in line with the contemporary transcultural thought |
