- **Event Name**: Entangled Territories: Conversations on Home + Diasporas
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us at the Liu Institute at UBC for a special conversation with Dr. Dawa Lokyitsang, Dr. Tsering Dolkar Watermeyer, and Nawang Tsering Gurung as they reflect on what homeland means for diasporic Tibetan community members, in relation to MOA’s feature exhibition, Entangled Territories: Tibet Through Images.

Entangled Territories: Tibet Through Images was developed in collaboration with Tibetan Canadian community members and artists, showcasing Tibet and Tibetans through their own voices and perspectives. The location and status of the Tibetan homeland remain a central issue for Tibetans. Their lived experience in Canada and elsewhere is reshaping Tibetan identity and their self-image, and many are questioning not only their diasporic condition, but also reimagining what homeland means.

Please note: This event takes place at The xʷθəθiqətəm—Place of Many Trees, Liu Institute for Global Issues, University of British Columbia (6476 NW Marine Drive).

Dr. Tsering Dolkar Watermeyer is an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. Born in Lhasa, she spent her formative years in exile in India before returning to Tibet from where she immigrated to Canada. Her work examines indigenous and diasporic social work practices and structural development.
