Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion
338 Lighthouse Ave.
Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion- Tibetan Portrait highlights photographic portraits of Tibetan people by renowned contemporary artist Phil Borges. Borges' portraits introduce viewers to individuals from a deeply spiritual culture who have been marginalized and displaced by the occupation of their homeland. The portraits range from images of everyday people, including nomads and children, to important historic figures such as the Dalai Lama. Tibetan Portrait also features interactive displays focusing on aspects of traditional Tibetan culture, such as a moveable display of Himalayan mountains, audio recordings of mantra chanting, a hands-on display of Tibetan prayer wheels, and a "Please Touch" table.
The Tibetan Portrait exhibit is about understanding the incredibly rich Tibetan culture and the people who have maintained compassion in the face of tremendous difficulties. It emphasizes cultural understanding and religious tolerance. The exhibit will remain on view at the Museum through December 2010.
