Woeser: Voice of Tibet (ICT Panel Discussion)
|
Despite Chinas tight control over information flow within its society, a growing number of Tibetan literary elites are playing an important role writing, blogging and interacting with the Chinese populace, voicing their minds through stories, poems, and blogs. The focus of our discussion today is Tsering Woeser, who is at the forefront of this movement, speaking, blogging and constantly challenging Chinese authorities, fighting hackers, arrests and detention. She remains unemployed, her blogs shut down, and her movements restricted but yet she has become one of Chinas greatest woman writers. Our panelists today will speak of her life in context with this new movement of Tibetan literary elites and the struggles that they have to overcome everyday. |

Songs for Tibet - Art of Peace Foundation "Freedom is Expression"
|
www.ArtofPeaceFoundation.org. As a show of solidarity with the Dalai Lama and Tibet, 20 artists have come together to release this historic double album on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album by the Foundation will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.
As the start of the Bejing Olympics nears, we applaud the athletes and the people of China in their accomplishment.
Unfortunately promises made by the Chinese Government to the I.O.C. have been broken over and over, including China's promise to remove the "Great Firewall of China" which blocks access to the internet and information.
Journalists who are reporting on the Olympics are still being blocked and hindered as of today. |

Tibet Diary Ep1
|
I hope everybody who watches this video could take one step back and refrain from saying these two are sponsored by the Chinese government. Without evidence, empty words only show how close-minded you are. Instead, if you think this is propaganda to brainwash people, go visit Tibet and the rest of China yourself. It costs a lot less than a trip to Europe, and I am sure you will be surprised at what you see.
Note: I have taken this video clip from user guihw on youtube without his/her permission. Neither of us have gotten the permission to upload this video. If anyone thinks it violates the copyright law, please feel free to contact me. |
