The Bureau Of Power And Light Art Collective, Students For A Free Tibet Canada and Scrim4Rent Gallery are excited to continue the Artists In Exile series featuring Tibetan artists living in Toronto. This art exhibition features the work of young Tibetan artists Ngawang Datok, Rignam Wangkhang, Tenzin Tsering Chözang , Lodoe Laura, Tenzin Rabyang.

This February 13th will mark 113 years since the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet proclaimed the restoration of Tibet’s independence. Every country marks significant historical dates in its founding as a nation. Regardless of its current political status, Tibet is no exception. Students for a Free Tibet has set aside February 13th as an important day to commemorate Tibet’s independent past.

For this year’s Tibetan Independence Day SFT Canada, in collaboration with Bureau of Power and Light Art Collective and Scrim4Rent Gallery, will celebrate February 13th with an art exhibition featuring image-based works by young local Tibetan artists. Through photography, painting, drawing, sculpture and video Artists In Exile: ‪#‎ReclaimTibet‬ explores the themes of identity, culture, language preservation, nationalism and youth.

Curated by Sonam Chokey, National Director, SFT Canada, this show is the second art event in the Bureau’s series Artists In Exile and was made possible with the generous support of Scrim4Rent.

Through this exhibit we will join the efforts of Tibetans inside and outside Tibet to secure Tibet’s proud past and shape it’s future.

Please join us for our Opening Reception on Saturday February 13th at Scrim4Rent gallery in Kensington Market Feb.13 7-9pm
