Festival of Tibet 2014
From divine art to cultural treasures, festivals don't get much richer than this. See the Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet, who will be constructing, with anything but ease, a stunning sand mandala.
Overview
As one of the most moving, finely curated and culturally rich events to be hosted by The Powerhouse, The Festival of Tibet is a must-attend experience regardless of your knowledge on the country. From divine art to even more celestial experiences, this four-day celebration offers in its entirety the beauty that defines Tibet.
Throughout the Festival, the Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet will be constructing, with anything but ease, a stunning sand mandala. You can even create your own mandala under their guidance from 3pm to 5pm each day, and learn what patience really encompasses. The Powerhouse’s Turbine Platform will be transformed into a sacred Tibetan space of stunning Buddhas, bodhisattvas and deities, with all painting created by Tibetan artists in exile.
Make sure you check out the huge range of exhibitions, discussions, and workshops on offer for all ages. There will even been a handful of nighttime events, so whether the sun is up or down, make sure you invest at least a little into this experience of a festival.
