Surendra Lawoti

<p><strong>Surendra Lawoti</strong> was born in Nepal. After completing his high school, he moved to the US where he studied photography in Chicago and Boston. He has made Toronto, Ontario his home since 2008. His work has been exhibited internationally in the past twelve years. He has received awards from Ontario Arts Council, Artadia (Chicago), Dept. of Cultural Affairs, City of Chicago and others. His past photography projects have included photographing within the Nepali Diaspora in Chicago, Michigan and Boston. The work dealt with home, migration, loss, and sense of longing and belonging. Another project focused on the landscape of Don River in Toronto, its residents and the people who use the area for recreation. Amidst the precarious tussle between nature and urbanization, the work looked at a group of people living in the peripheries of the mainstream society. As an artist, he is interested in the human experience amidst the forces of social and political transformations. His <em>Nepali Diaspora</em> work dealt with the migratory landscape in a post 9-11 period, and <em>Don River</em> focused on marginalized existence during an economic downturn.</p> <p>He is represented by Gallery Kayafas in Boston and teaches as a Sessional (Adjunct) Faculty at Ontario College of Art and Design University.</p>
