OUT OF TIBET
Podcast Description
Can you name a Tibetan – besides the Dalai Lama? I guess not (or you're probably Tibetan). Let's change that by representing voices of Tibetans and our friends. Sharing stories of hope, struggle, culture, and belonging — creating a space for Tibetans and for everyone who cares about Tibet.
Since 1950, Tibet has been under Chinese occupation. Today, Tibetans live scattered across the globe in exile. Many of us have never seen our homeland. My name is DAGYAB Namri Songtsen Lhundup, born and raised in Germany by Tibetan parents. Living in Berlin.

$30,000. That’s the prize money that just changed the game for the Khadok Arts Collective!
Tashi Nyima and their small team of four in Dharamsala recently received the prestigious Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize. Just two year’s after one of their closest friends and collaborator Jigme Choedak aka JC unfortunately passed away. The prize is the kind of validation many dream of—especially when they start as ”backbenchers” who don't fit the traditional mold.
In this episode, Namri sits down with Tashi to talk about the reality behind the headline. They discuss what he and his co-founders Tenzin Melak and Lea Taake motivated to continue with the collective, what it means to paint the raw, messy reality of humans instead of perfect deities, and why living in a safe settlement doesn't always mean you feel “settled.”
Also, the $30,000 win and how the Rubin Prize impacts the collective and the pressure that comes with it. How he began to focus more on his own works after a scary health issue when he was younger.
