UPTOWNflavor

March 10th marks the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising, when hundreds of thousands of Tibetans surrounded the Dalai Lama’s palace to ensure his safety in the days prior to his exile. The week leading up to this anniversary offers a critical time for reflection and dialog on the fifty years of tension and unresolved conflict in Tibet. Tibet in Harlem is a weeklong series of film screenings accompanied by special events, panel discussions, performances, and receptions that will offer more than the traditional movie-going experience. Audiences will have the opportunity to experience other forms of Tibetan culture, learn about exciting new projects, engage in dialog, and get involved.

An accompanying exhibit will feature works by local Tibetan artists and there will be a variety of items for sale including handmade Tibetan rugs, jewelry, books, and DVDs.
