“Dreaming Tibet” – Youth Art Exhibition
– Tenzin Dhesel, Class 7A
After over 60 years of occupation, Tibetan children are growing up in exile, often disconnected from their homeland. The “Dreaming Tibet” Youth Art Exhibition offers a profound insight into how young Tibetan students envision life in a homeland they have never seen.
Centred around the theme “If I were in Tibet,” these artworks reflect their unique perspectives on identity, cultural roots, and aspirations, all while navigating the complexities of exile. The resulting artworks—paintings, drawings, and mixed media—represent not only individual dreams but also the resilience of a generation separated from their homeland; a rare glimpse into the emotional and cultural landscapes these children envision.

Youth Art Engagement Project
As part of Khadhok’s first Youth Art Engagement Project, supported by The Tibet Fund, this initiative nurtures creativity and empowers young Tibetan artists to express their heritage and aspirations through art. Workshops were conducted in five schools across Himachal Pradesh—Upper TCV, Mewoen Tsuglag Petoen School, TCV Gopalpur, TCV Suja, and TCV Chauntra—where students from classes 6 to 12 created works reflecting their personal stories. The goal was to encourage deep reflection on what it means to be Tibetan in exile while fostering artistic growth and self-expression.
