TIBET: The Roof of the World
Presented by Zara Fleming
Tuesday, June 2 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
An introduction to the history, art and culture of this extraordinary land, lying deep in the heart of Central Asia surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the world.
Despite its geographical inaccessibility, it developed a rich and vibrant Buddhist culture and artistic tradition.
This lecture gives a brief overview of Tibetan history from the time of the great Tibetan Empire (6th – 9th century) up to the present day; explores the fascinating art and culture inspired by Buddhism, introduced from India in the 7th century, and gives an insight into the current political situation.
Zara Fleming is a freelance lecturer, exhibition curator specialising in the art and culture of Tibet, the Himalayan areas and Mongolia. Initially Zara was based at the V&A, but also worked with the Central Asian Department of Bonn University, the Orient Foundation, the Royal Academy, Tibet House, the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside and Asia House. She lectures for museums, universities, Asian art societies, and private associations.
