JULY Sunday 11 - October 18 -> Tradition Transformed -> New York Tradition Transformed: Tibetan Artists Respond marks the first exhibition of contemporary Tibetan art in a New York City at Rubin Museum of Art. The nine Tibetan artists featured each explore contemporary issues–personal, political, and cultural–by integrating the centuries-old traditional imagery, techniques, and materials found in Tibetan Buddhist art with modern influences and media. The exhibition began with an invitation: the nine artists were asked to submit new and recent works that served as the show's formative voice and inspired the curatorial response. Specific works by the same artists were then selected from New York private collections in order to complement the new pieces and highlight each artist's range. http://www.rmanyc.org/nav/exhibitions/view/632
Thursday 1 -> Opening of Tibet Film Fetival 2010 -> London Now going into our third year, Tibet Film Festival returns to London in July with a selection of inspiring films, celebrating Tibetan art and culture, in the month that will see the 75th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The festival then goes on tour from August. The festival continues to showcase new work by young and emerging Tibetan, Indian and women filmmakers, and we have two strong themes in this year's programme – the environment on one hand, and music on the other. We will also be supporting the relief efforts in the Kyegudo area of Kham, Tibet, which was struck by a devastating earthquake on 14th April 2010. Tibet Film Festival 2010 opens in London on 1st July and will run in various venues across the city throughout the month before going on tour, so look out for Tibet Film Festival in your area! http://www.day-for-night.org/tibetfilmfestival/
