“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.
