Naropa University is honored to show photographs by John Birchak in the exhibition Tibet: A Vanishing Culture in the Paramita Gallery through December 12, 2015 in the Paramita Gallery. Please join us on Friday, October 23, 2015 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. for a Meet the Artists Reception in the Paramita Gallery/Paramita Campus/3285 30th Street, Boulder, CO. Additionally, Mr. Birchak will be giving a lecture about his journey to Tibet on Wednesday, October 28th at 7:00 p.m. at the Paramita Campus.
In 2010, Mr. Birchak was drawn to help document through photography the dramatic and rapid changes taking place throughout Tibet. Perspectives on the changes were shared to him by Tibetan nomads, rongpa (barley) farmers and individuals in Lhasa who had recently moved from small towns and villages to seek education and opportunity. Through portraiture the exhibition focuses with great affection on the Tibetan people experiencing these rapid and dramatic changes.
