Tibet has come to Shreveport via a multi-faceted exhibit at Meadows Museum, Centenary College.
Photos, artifacts and a film about the life of exiled Tibetan Buddhist monks living in India will be on exhibit through May 29.
"The photos and the film have been shot entirely by Tibetans," said Joe Mickey, a Californian who founded the Tibet Photo Project. "This is essentially different from what we've seen. There have been a lot of films about life in Tibet, but they've all been produced by Westerners."
The display is colorful, involving and will merit repeated visits.
Sunday, Feb. 27, at 2 pm, Centenary prof Peter Huff will speak on the Buddhist-Christian Dialogue Today.
Afterwards, about 3 pm, the newly edited film about Tibetan monks will be aired, said Tenzin Wangden Andrugtsang, Centenary's Tibetan representative. We found Wangden an articulate interpreter of Tibetan life. He played a Tibetan singing bowl and told us how its ringing sound aids meditation.
Visitors to the exhibit will be able to play the golden, rich-sounding bowl as part of their visit.

Tibet is very beautiful. I have been there for 10 times. The arts are
very unique. I like Tibetan singing bowls.
They are very good for meditation practice.
