Mongol Visions: Winged Horses and Shamanic Skies
(December 1, 2011 – February 15, 2012)
For more than two thousand years the Mongols have dominated the center of the Silk Road. Here, under the guidance of the great Khaans like Genghis and Kublai, the ancient traditions of shamanism and Indo-Tibetan Buddhism merged into a profound stream. The vast influence of Mongolia on Euro-Asian civilization is only now being fully appreciated. Tibet House is delighted to join in the celebration of this inspiring and magical legacy by hosting an exhibition with six of Mongolia’s greatest award-winning young artists whose works bring together the integrity of tradition and the creative impulse of the contemporary aesthetic.
Please join us for the opening reception. Robert Thurman, Glenn Mullin and several of the artists will be present in this celebration of their works.
This exhibition has been generously supported by the William Hinman Foundation
Opening reception: Thursday, December 1 from 6-8pm
@ Tibet House: 22 West 15th Street
