‘’TIBET: Dreamland Homeland’’ is an art collaborative by
students of Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology with
the US based organization ‘The Beehive Collective’. Through
this initiative we aim at giving a voice to the Tibetan stories
that have been left unheard. Our interactions with a variety of
Tibetan migrants from all age groups gave us a glimpse of
Tibetan history. By understanding the dierent nuances of the
past and present, we have come up with an art piece which
represents the plight of the present day Tibetan and their
longing for a free homeland. Through these stories we got
perspective into their views regarding their forced migration
and subsequent decades in exile which grew within them.
Even after all these years of distress, it intrigued us as to why
there haven’t been any violent protests. In order to
understand the same, we had to delve into Buddhism. Using
stories and motifs symbolic of the Tibetan culture, we have
created this portable mural which will facilitate their nature of
protest in a versatile manner. Through this journey we want to
give the world a sense of the struggle, migration and
adaptation Tibetans have lived with since time immemorial
and continue to this day in the hope of a place to call home.
