Campus Gallery Features Exhibit on Tibetan Women

Photo and video exhibit opens Feb. 1

A photo and video exhibit "Sky Train: Tibetan Women on the Edge of History" will be on display in the Campus Gallery, Building 9, Room 152, Feb. 1 through March 11. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. A special reception for the opening of the exhibit will be held from 1 to 3 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 3.

The photo and video exhibit is related to the book of the same name by San Francisco author, Tibet activist, and performance artist Canyon Sam. The exhibit includes the video "The Dissident," Sam's nationally-acclaimed one-woman performance inspired by her meeting with a young Tibetan nun freedom fighter. Also included in the exhibit are photos by the author and archival photos from the collection of Jigme and Rinchen Dolma Taring (author of Daughter of Tibet).
