"Tibet, 50 years resistance" Women portraits

From Saturday 12th September until 12th November you can visit the photo exhibition “Tibet, 50 years of resistance” Women portraits by Alejandra Nettel at Temple
The opening ceremony will be on 12th September at 16:00
Tashi Norbu will make a Tibetan ceremony as opening of the exhibition, followed by an auction.

You are welcome to come, free entrance.

“Tibet, 50 years o resistance” Women portraits is a view to generations of Tibetan women that have been leaving in the exile for the last 50 years.

March 2009 marked a series of highly sensitive anniversaries in Tibet. The Tibetan population in Mc Leod Ganj, Dharamsala, made different political and artistic actions to commemorate the 50 years of resistance.

On 10 March was the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising of March 1959 when more than 86,000 Tibetan men, women and children were slaughtered after taking to the streets to demand an end to Chinese rule, and the Dalai Lama was forced into exile in India.

Fifty years ago, Tibetan women often uneducated and without political experience, spontaneous rose in defiance of tyranny. As the Chinese solidify their occupation over 15,000 women assemble on March 12, 1959, speaking out for peace, justice and freedom in a non-violent expression of resistance.

Fifty years later, the struggle continues and the Tibetan women continue to step forward, meeting each challenge with resilience, faith and dedication.

Fiftieth Anniversary provided and opportunity to showcase not only Tibetan women and Tibetan cause, but the empowerment of women globally.

What is Spicy?

¿Qué es Picante?

My collaboration with ¿Qué es picante? consisted in presenting photos from the serie "Even Zitten", printed in 1,60x and used as decor of the evening; also I presented the video-performance Gosumy Electronics as an Avatar.

¿Que es picante?
What is Spicy?
Evening of Arts and Mexican Culinary Wonders
Ticket Price per Person:
150,00 [One hundred fifty euro]


An exceptional cultural dinner under the intriguing title 'What is Spicy' will be held in the Kunsthal cafe in Rotterdam on December the 6th, 2008.

"What is spicy?" will be an informal evening of visual arts, music and culinary arts, and has been inspired by the gastronomic side of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Her passion for life and pleasure of the senses were expressed in the dinners she organized. At the same time "What is spicy?" aims to help the weakest social section of Mexican society, children in need, by supporting the international foundation Children of Mexico. Part of the ticket sales revenues will be donated to this foundation. Fitting in with Que es Picante further donations can be made for Children of Mexico.

"What is spicy?" will include the performances of artists with differing styles and techniques. Some will explore electronic arts, new technologies and conceptual art while others combine and fuse the rich Mexican and Latin traditional art forms. All of the artist are of a high level and come together for the first time in Holland linked by friendly relationships, a commitment to the social initiative of Children of Mexico and their passion for artistic creation. The Frida Kahlo theme and Mexico will be linked to the art and performances by a lecture, and during a lottery the winner of a trip to Mexico will be drawn. The evening has been organized by "La seduccion del Gusto" and the BABEL foundation for art and cultural diversity.

This project has attracted the attention and support of institutions and companies such as the Mexican Embassy in the Netherlands, Aeromexico, the Kunsthalcafé [onderdeel van de Vermaatgroep BV.], Laloberinto Art&Design, Baby Phat Benelux and Patrick Paludanus, Xerox.
