Raki Nikahetiya on Art, Conservation & Collective Spaces | KALĀ Commune Ep 1

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the KALĀ Commune Podcast—a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices, visions, and creative forces shaping South Asia’s contemporary cultural landscape. KALĀ (the Sanskrit word for art, craft, and creative execution) serves as our anchor. The KALĀ Commune Podcast brings together artists, curators, thinkers, and cultural catalysts from across Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and the wider diaspora to dissect the region's shared histories, pressing narratives, and emerging futures. In this first edition, we sit down with Raki Nikahetiya—a dynamic force bridging the worlds of art, activism, and environmental conservation. He is the director and co-founder of the sā Ladakh Biennale, the world’s highest-altitude regenerative art biennale, fostering site-specific installations and initiatives at the intersection of climate, culture, and community. We dive into his creative process, the power of collective spaces, and how art can serve as a conduit for ecological and social restoration.
