Clare Harris, Curator for Asian Collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum and Professor of Visual Anthropology, will give an illustrated presentation on her forthcoming book on the history of photography of Tibet from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. The talk will feature many rare images created both by visitors to Tibet and by Tibetans themselves, including the 13th Dalai Lama.
