Article Christiane Brosius and Axel Michaels write about the reconstruction of Nepal's cultural heritage after the flood

The article was published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) on Saturday, October 17. In the article, Brosius and Michaels describe the amount of devastation the flood on August 26 this year had on the inhabitants and the cultural landscape of the Bhotekoshi Valley. Over the last eight years, the Nepal Heritage Documentation Project (NHDP), headed by Brosius and Michaels, has been documenting more than 80 cultural sights in the affected area. The documentation is part of the project's Digital Archive of Nepalese Art and Monuments, which is freely accessible and now helps the local population in reconstructing their cultural landscape after the flood.
