Tibet House US, the internationally renowned arts and cultural institution in New York City, is now hosting a two-month exhibition of work by photographer Barbara Paul. "Grasslands of Eastern Tibet: Nomads, Festivals & Monasteries" is a selection of photographs from several thousand images shot on the high plateau of Eastern Tibet, featuring the unique customs and lifestyle of the Amdo nomads.
The show includes the brilliantly costumed Machen summer horse festival and its bejeweled women adorned with amber and coral.
Barbara Paul is a well-traveled photographer, with an affinity for tribal cultures and endangered traditions, and has previously exhibited at Gallery Vietnam in New York, and at the Thomas J. Walsh Gallery at Fairfield University, among others. Her Tibet House exibition will certainly be a must-see for those of us who are similarly passionate.
"Grasslands of Eastern Tibet" continues her association with Tibet House US following the use of her other work for the institution's Philip Glass-curated 2005 Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall with Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Debbie Harry and Michael Stipe.
