She Fell and Became a Horse: An Experiment in Ethnofiction 

Paola Tine

This art book is an experiment in ethnofiction. It asks the questions: can social change be embodied? And how can we represent these processes visually, in a way to further add our understanding of what it means to be human in contexts marked by strong social change? Through painting, drawing and text, and with the accompaniment of local music, this artbook explores the existential journey of three Nepali women and discusses their experiences as micro-processes of social change unfolding through intersubjective processes and in close relation to ideas of moral personhood.
