Exile Stories

by photographer Tenzin Dorjee
2003 FiftyCrows PhotoFund Finalist - Asia/Pacific Region

Since 1994, Tenzin Dorjee has photographically charted the Tibetan Diaspora throughout the Indian Subcontinent and Switzerland. “Exile Stories: Intimate Portraits of Tibetan Exile Community” captures the diverse imagery of Tibetan life in exile, from nomad yak herders of Ladakh, to a wealthy carpet entrepreneur in Kathmandu, to a Tibetan Muslim community in Kashmir, and even a Tibetan hard-rock band in Zurich. With this collection of personal portraits, he intends to contribute to a visual archive for future generations of the Tibetan Diaspora, as well as raise global awareness about his mother country.
