SUBASH THEBE LIMBU

Subash THEBE LIMBU (b.1981, Dharan) is a Yakthung (Limbu) artist from Eastern Nepal. He works with sound, film, music, performance, painting and podcasts. “Ladhamba Tayem; Future Continuous” imagines futures where Indigenous people’s actions and existence is in the space-time continuum. Through the conversation between two indigenous people from very different timelines – a Yakthung warrior from the 18th century and an indigenous time traveler from the distant future – the film asks the viewer to investigate their own potential role in the space-time continuum in searching for the possible futures to strive for, while reminding of the fight against colonialism and struggles to overcome. The work plays with the idea of time as not something rigid but ductile or weavable, which in turn paves the way for questions like how we might want to weave the future.
