Photo-Exihibition:
In memory of the late
Amaryllis Fleming, a loyal supporter of Tibet, a photo-exhibition was
organised by the Tibet House Trust at the Crypt Gallery, London from 16
to 28 June, 2002 to coincide with the World Refugee Day.
The theme
of this exhibition was to show independent Tibet, its occupation,
Tibetan community in exile and their future vision.
The British
actress Joanna Lumley, a staunch supporter of Tibet, was the chief guest
at the opening. Monks from Tashi Lhunpo monastery began the evening
function with Tibetan prayers. The gallery was packed with over 130
people standing.
Pictures by the Tibetan photographer, Tenzin Dorjee
formed the core of the exhibit. He also had the chance to speak about
his experiences and future projects.
About 100 people visited the gallery each day. Part of
this exhibition was taken to Austria during the Kalachakra teachings in
August 2002. This exhibition helped in spreading awareness about the
Tibetan situation and the works of Tibet House Trust. It also promoted
the works of Tibetan artists in exile.
This exhibition can be hired free of charge from the
Tibet House Trust.
