About Us
The Tibetan issue is too important to only be remembered by the international community in designated news headlines and by political games-man. For the hundreds of thousands of Tibetans living in exile the reality of life as a refugee is constant, and the static struggle for Tibet encompasses every facet of -- life, emotions, joys, and trials. Inherent in the lives of Tibetans in exile is a veritable web of complications which often result in high unemployment, unequal educational opportunities, and lower standards of health care.
As journalists in the community, it has been the duty and the pleasure of the Lhasa Post to serve the Tibetan people, documenting and reporting the news within and relevant to the refugee community. Our service covers political demonstrations, community events, book signings, and religious ceremonies, providing a depth of understanding and compassion. We have used our knowledge and experiences working within this unique community as a compass as we undertake this project commemorating 50 years in exile.
This project works to exhibit the struggles of Tibetans over the course of the last 50 years by focusing on the hardships of just one year (2007-2008). The collection of poignant photos will encompass the challenges that Tibetans face in many spheres of daily life, from the political to the emotional, and aims to do so from a unique perspective. Lhasa Post believes that limiting the project to one year in scope has not only made the project unique, it has made the project more focused, sharpening the reality of Tibetan life in exile.
The concern at this point in time is the welfare of Tibetans in the present, not the events of the past. While this collection of photos does not aim to detract from the importance of the past, it works to focus on the lives that that Tibetans in exile live presently after these 50 years have run their course.
