A Question of Evidence in Tibet and Burma Alexandra David-Néel, writer, anarchist, mystic, singer, feminist and explorer, was the first Western woman to travel to Tibet in the 1920s. She published the first Tibetan-French dictionary and a plethora of papers on Tibetan and Buddhist culture. In the exhibition A Question of Evidence, Chinese artist Qiu Zhijie ad...dresses David Néel's adventurous journey to Lhasa in his installation A Railway from Lhasa to Kathmandu, and traces her route against the expeditions of other early Western travelers searching to uncover the spiritual (and material) secrets of Shangri-La. In the course of A Question of Evidence, T-B A21 invites the actress Holde Naumann to read from Alexandra David-Néel's My Journey to Tibet, in which the explorer recounts her vantage on foot into the forbidden city of Lhasa. Expect a musical performance by Tibet21's very own Tsewang Gyatso.

A Question of Evidence in Tibet and Burma
Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary presents in the course of the current exhibition A Question of Evidence a lecture by the poet and political activist Tenzin Tsundue. Since the fierce uprisings in Tibet in March 2008, the question concerning Tibet’s status in relation to China is more urgent than ever. End of Novembe...r, the UN Committee against Torture recommended investigations into the deaths during the March demonstrations. To discuss the further policy and goals of of the Sino-Tibetan dialogue, the First Special General Meeting was summoned in Dharamsala. More than 600 Tibetans in Exile took part. Although the result was to cling—for the time being—to the Middle Way Approach, disappointment and frustration about China’s seeming refusal to discuss the Tibet question seriously. Tenzin Tsundue has been a critic of the Dalai Lama’s Middle Way Approach and calls for Tibet’s independence from China. Which political options and which hopes are there for Tibet? Tsundue’s lecture shall provide us with insight into the debate and communicate its actuality and urgency.
Tenzin Tsundue was born in Indian exile. He is a poet and a writer and one of the Tibet movement’s best-known activists, immediately recognizable by the red bandana he wears, which he has sworn not to remove until Tibet is free. He has been at the fore-front of Tibet’s struggle for independence from his student days. Later, he caught the attention of the international media after mounting a series of highly publicised one-man protests against visiting Chinese leaders in India. He is a critic of the Dalai Lama’s Middle Way Approach, and a staunch proponent of independence, a stand that has made him a key inspiration for a new generation of Tibetans in exile.
In cooperation with Manfredi Manera, director of the documentary film “On the Road to Tibet” and director of the Venetian Multiversal Academy (www.glocalart.org).

For "Middle Way or Independence?", Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam filmed many interviews and press conferences to give an idea of the debate between the "Middle Way" and an approach for genuine autonomy and independence as the goal of the Tibetan movement.
