China ‘Very Insecure’ About Its Single Narrative: Exiled Tibetan Artists Criticize Removal Of Artworks Under Chinese Pressure | India News

On Thursday, the exiled Tibetan artists and activists strongly condemned Tibet and other diaspora artworks, state violence, authoritarian partnerships and the base resistance from an international exhibition at the Bangkok Art and Culture Center of Thailand (BACC) due to the pressure from Beijing officials.

On July 24, Bacc, Tibet, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Uighur Diaspora by the artists after the pressure reported by the Chinese officials took over a few works of art, and he directed the criticism of artists claiming that it represented the efforts to silence Beijing’s overseas opposition.

Tenzin Tsungue, a Tibetan and activist based on Dharamshala, speaking suddenly, criticized the Chinese government for forcing the abolition of works of art.

“There are Tibetans living all over the world and they represent their representation in the form of different arts, and this happened in Thailand. He said.

Tsungue accused Beijing of using its economic and political influence beyond its borders to export Beijing beyond its borders, and this time, Thailand’s “having to akmak” under pressure expressed disappointment.

Despite the tension, Tsungue promised to intensify the efforts of Tibetan artists and activists, and pointed out that the community will reach more artists, including the screenings and exhibitions in Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore.

“We want to make more exhibitions in Thailand and Southeast Asian countries.

“We will reach more and we have a large Tibetan Buddhist follower network in these countries. I’m sure China will find it interesting and they will be very busy, but they will be very busy.

The works that were removed were part of an exhibition titled ‘Consüyız of the Complex: Visualization of Global Authoritarian Solidarity Machines’, which had ten artists and curated by Myanmar Peace Museum.

Visual artist Tashi Nyima, another member of the Tibetan diaspora, accused China of expanding censorship tactics and expressed his deep disappointment on the incident.

“I am uncomfortable with this news. As an artist, when you mean something through your art, you want to do it freely, honestly and correctly, but the Chinese government does not like and control it and censor it in a free world.

He said that censorship in Bacc not only affects not only Tibetan artists, but also from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Uighur community, and that China was “afraid” for opening Beijing’s “free world”.

“Not only Tibetan artists, but also some Hong Konggers, Taiwan and Uighur artists they are trying to censor. China is just afraid, I think, I think that these artists are trying to hide the truth and trying to hide from the free world.”

According to Phayul, among the overturned pieces, Trans Tibetan artist Tenzin Mingyur Paldron had a 12 -minute speech film titled ‘Listen to Native People’, which was the origin of Dalai Lama, a tibetin vally of an Indian child in an Indian child in an Indian way.

Curators, Bangkok Chinese Embassy and the officials of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) officials, the exhibition visited and demanded to be closed shortly after opening the exhibition, he said.
