Tibet as a place no longer exists, but Tibetan culture is alive and
well in Tibetan communities both under Chinese occupation and in
the Tibetan diaspora. There is, of course, a physical and political
gulf between these two types of community that has resulted in
marked differences in the artistic expressions of their common
culture. In her fascinating and original study - and with a wealth
of original illustrations resulting from her research - Harris
presents us with widely divergent images of contemporary Tibet.
Utterly unlike any other book on Tibetan art, this breaks new
ground in our understanding of a culture that refuses to die.
(Kirkus UK)
A study of the ways in which the idea of Tibet has been imagined by
Tibetan artists both in exile in India and under Chinese rule in
the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) of the People's Republic of
China. Taking the year of the Dalai Lama's flight from Tibet in
1959 as its starting point and an indicator of the rupture which
Tibetan society underwent at this time, this text shows how exiled
artists and their audiences negotiated the reconstruction of Tibet
in India whilst in the TAR, the visual landscape was colonized by
Chinese depictions of Tibet, and what the Republic now saw as
national minority - Tibetans.
