Yuko Maskay wanted to create a space where people can come together and share their love of everything creative. Her theory is that if you dig deep enough, everybody has an amazing story to tell and everybody has the potential to be who they want to be (with the right catalyst). V.E.N.T! perks: she gets to work with a team of world class talents and crazies who gives it their all while having a blast in the process. She's inspired by inspiration.

  • Traveling Chobi Mela V - the first international photo festival of its kind in Nepal

    Photography is a powerful tool for expression especially in a country like Nepal where the majority of the people is illiterate. What you cannot convey in words, you can convey with a single click.

    Teasing me, flirting breeze
    Fresh teen spirit awash 
    In black soap, foam everywhere
    Drowning, gasping, hoping

    Hoping, angel with big wings
    A white light, glaring in mine eyes
    Sweeping dust, dirt, dark night
    Teary eyes, finally I'm home. 

  • My Living Goddess

    When my mom died of cancer this year, my world stopped. It didn't stop for just a moment, it didn't stop for just a few months, it just paused like a broken record...

  • All You Need is Love

    When I decided to move to Nepal after living abroad all my life, it wasn’t because I wanted to do something for “my” country or to make a difference. It was because I wanted to live close to my parents and know what it's like to live...
