Entangled Territories: Conversations on Home + Diasporas

This event is presented by SFU's David Lam Centre, Museum of Anthropology, the Himalaya Program and the Department of Asian Studies, the University of British Columbia.

Join us at the Liu Institute at UBC for a special conversation with Dr. Dawa Lokyitsang, Dr. Tsering Dolkar Watermeyer, and Nawang Tsering Gurung as they reflect on what homeland means for diasporic Tibetan community members, in relation to MOA’s feature exhibition, Entangled Territories: Tibet Through Images.

Entangled Territories: Tibet Through Images was developed in collaboration with Tibetan Canadian community members and artists, showcasing Tibet and Tibetans through their own voices and perspectives. The location and status of the Tibetan homeland remain a central issue for Tibetans. Their lived experience in Canada and elsewhere is reshaping Tibetan identity and their self-image, and many are questioning not only their diasporic condition, but also reimagining what homeland means.
