Babita Shrestha Moreland
Media Artist
2025 Artist Enrichment Grant | (Lexington) $2,500 to fund a solo photography exhibition “The Art of Nourishment” showcasing her work from her two cookbooks “Plant-based Himalaya: Vegan Recipes from Nepal ” and “Garden Exotica: International Plant- Based Fusion Cuisine”, challenging patriarchal narratives while honoring the intergenerational labor of women food artists. By curating this visual narrative from ancestral roots to a global plate, she will not only advocate for a more equitable and sustainable food system, but also promote a dialogue around the health benefits of cooking wholesome meals at home. This project will develop her skills in public engagement and art curation, solidifying her path as a feminist social change artist.
