Vanishing Point is a community-centered radio show that came out of many hours spent with local tourist guides at the historic Patan Durbar Square as part of a 2006 Sutra Artist’s Residency. Although the workshop lasted only a few weeks, Aastha was able to gain the trust of the informal community,and record their narratives on hours upon hours of taped interviews. Indeed, by the end of the project the guides had so taken to her project that they began to record stories for each other. At the end of her stay, Aastha was able to condense all of her material into a half-hour radio show which was broadcast over a local Nepalese community radio station (Radio Sagarmatha) to the intense delight of her friends in Patan Durbar Square.
