From Remote to Visible: The 13th Dalai Lama and the Transition to Modernity in Tibet with Tsering Shakya, Tonight, March 1, 2018 @ 5 p.m.
Please join us this evening at 5 p.m. in Hale 230 as Tsering Shakya (Associate Professor, University of British Columbia) gives a lecture on the dissemination of images of ther Dalai Lama!
This talk will examine how the images of the Dalai Lamas in the West or among the Tibetan are primarily constructed during the reign of the 13th Dalai Lama. In the past, the Dalai Lama was a remote figure, but during the reign of the 13th Dalai Lama, this changed because of this longevity of his life, travels, and appearance of photography.
