流亡藏人艺术家的“西藏之土”


居住美国的藏人艺术家、诗人丹增热珠(Tenzin Rigdol),从被严密封锁的西藏境内想方设法运出20吨泥土,于今天(10月26日)在流亡藏人中心—印度达兰萨拉—举办“我们的家乡、我们的民族”场域特定艺术展。


在西藏儿童村体育广场,“西藏之土”被垒建为一平台,周遭用红色布条包围,以示西藏被红色中共统治,并在“西藏之土”上供奉尊者达赖喇嘛法像、竖立雪山狮子旗。




举办这一展览之前,艺术家丹增热珠朝觐了尊者达赖喇嘛并敬献“西藏之土”,尊者当场在“西藏之土”上用手指书写藏文的“西藏”。

【His Holiness writes "བོད་" in Rigdol's soil from Tibet
‎"His Holiness took one look at the soil, and then proceeded to write the Tibetan word for "Tibet" in the soil," said Rigdol. "It was incredibly uplifting to see His Holiness carve the most simple and powerful message on the soil, unequivocally claiming it as Tibet, his and our beloved homeland."】



据“西藏之声”报道,丹增热珠在展览上如是陈述:“克服一切困难举办这一场域特定艺术展,主要为了让年迈的流亡藏人再次看到家乡的土地,让年轻藏人能够亲身体会家乡土地的乡情,并以此祈愿境内外藏人早日团聚在雪域西藏。”



展览吸引了众多在流亡中思念故土的藏人。他们含着热泪向“西藏之土”敬献哈达、跪拜顶礼。
