Tibetan Photo Project

Tibetans in India have experienced statelessness as a condition of
life and there is a whole generation of Tibetans who have grown up in
India. I am forwarding this message from the Tibetan Photo Project :

In October 2007, The United States Congress will award Tenzin Gyatso,
the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, The Congressional Gold Medal of Honor - the
nation's highest and most distinguished civilian award.
In honor of that event and in keeping with the mission of The Tibetan
Photo Project, the founders, Sazzy Varga and Joe Mickey, will provide
a copy of 8-minute short film on DVD to each of the 100 members of the
United States Senate.
The film, " Save Tibet... Why ?" is the final sequence to our 2006-07
release of "Visually and Respectfully Yours - The Story of The Tibetan
Photo Project." It is the visual version of an op-ed that has appeared
in several publications in the U.S and on the Web.

Mission Statement
The goal of The Tibetan Photo Project is to provide the tools and
education to create a voice from the films and photos by Tibetans.
While there have been thousands of great visual works documenting the
Tibetans, most have been from the perspective of the Western eye.

The Tibetan Photo Project is working to present the Tibetans' own
perspective through the Tibetan Photo Project Website, exhibits,
films, DVDs and other visual programs created from their own
photographic work or by film and photo efforts directed by Tibetans.
