PHYSICAL PROGRAMME

A personal archive of Tibetan Resistance (1957-1974)
A project by Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam in collaboration with Natasha Ginwala

The exhibition re-evaluates the audiovisual material that Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam have gathered over the years by weaving in Lhamo Tsering’s personal archives, and presenting a re-mastered version of their documentary, to create a more complete and complex mosaic of this largely obscure story.

On view are archival photographs, letters and documents, maps and video installations

At the age of eight, Dolkar fled her home with her father to escape Chinese armed forces, and faced an arduous journey across the Himalayas. Now 26, she lives in a Tibetan refugee colony in Delhi, where an unexpected encounter with a man from her past awakens long-suppressed memories, propelling Dolkar on an obsessive search for the truth.
