A UNIQUE exhibition celebrating the regional dress of Tibet through a collection of vibrant and intricately detailed portraits and studies will take place this weekend in York.

All the works on display were created by Anne Jennings Brown during her time living and teaching within the Tibetan exile community in Dharamsala (northern India) from 1982-83.

A spokesman for Tibet Relief Fund, which has organised the exhibition, said: “Since much of Tibet’s rich and varied cultural heritage has been destroyed under Chinese occupation, this exhibition presents a rare opportunity to learn more about Tibet’s geography, history, and society, whilst enjoying this charming and distinctive collection.”

The Painting the Plateau exhibition is being held at the Unitarian Chapel, in York’s St Saviourgate, from 10am to 5pm today, and 1pm to 4pm tomorrow.
