About

Bringing Tibet Home is a dramatic, observational documentary that follows New York-based artist Tenzing Rigdol in an ambitious undertaking for his next art project. He proposes to transport 20 tonnes of soil from Tibet across three countries to a final installation in Dharamsala, India. His motivation? Not only to bring awareness to the constraints of Chinese rule in Tibet and their influence across the region but to give Tibetans in exile the much dreamed of chance to set foot on native Tibetan soil. Bringing Tibet Home is infused with Rigdol’s longing for his homeland, nail-biting moments during contentious border crossings and bold dreams that artmaking can bring people together in new ways. Bringing Tibet Home captures the Tibetan refugee experience with vivid intensity and the warmth of human connection.

Ages 15+
