Kathmandu through a Matriarchal Lens: “Ajima and 6 Gender Identities”
As the vibrant city of Kathmandu bustles with energy and life, it holds within its ancient streets a tapestry of stories often overshadowed by grand monuments and bustling markets. But what if we told you there’s a way to explore this enigmatic city not just as a tourist, but through the eyes of its resilient matriarchs? The recently screened documentary ‘Ajima and 6 Gender Identities’ does just that. Directed by the visionary Sunil Babu Panta, this powerful film was showcased at Martin Chautari, shedding light on the ancient yet astonishingly contemporary themes of gender diversity and matriarchy in Kathmandu.
The Ajima goddesses, an integral yet often overlooked aspect of Kathmandu’s rich cultural heritage, serve as the heartbeat of this documentary. These revered grandmother figures symbolize wisdom, bravery, and nurturing—a stark contrast to the patriarchal norms that have long dominated societal narratives. By walking ‘Kathmandu through a matriarchal lens,’ Panta’s film intricately weaves tales of these divine protectors with the multifaceted identities of modern-day gender issues. It’s a compelling look at how the old and new collide, offering not only a profound understanding of the city’s past but also challenging us to rethink our views on gender and sexuality today. Whether you’re a scholar, a curious traveler, or someone keen on understanding the deeper layers of cultural dynamics, this documentary is a must-see, urging you to delve deeper into the heart and soul of Kathmandu.
