Lavkant Chaudhary’s art is rooted in the Tharu people's long history of resistance to land dispossession, cultural erasure, and forced disappearances. By drawing on traditional knowledge systems—such as oral histories, seasonal dances, and godana (tattoo) markings—his work serves as a record of often overlooked narratives. His recent pieces examine and deconstruct key moments, including the 19th-century classification of Tharus as an enslavable or "masinya" caste by the Nepali state, the disproportionate impact of the People’s War (1996-2006) on Tharu civilians, and the recognition of Indigenous identities in Nepal's post-2015 constitutional framework.
