Please join us for an acoustic musical performance by Loten Namling, a Tibetan musician, singer, multi-media artist (performance and visual), curator, filmmaker, activist, thinker, and global ambassador/patriot for Tibetan culture and heritage.  The event will include a brief introduction on the subjects, personages, and inspirations that come together to create an engaging evening of music and cultural celebration.

In 2013, Namling started a three-month walk what he called A Journey for Freedom – One Man, One Path. from Bern, Switzerland to Geneva, dragging a black coffin to bring attention to the plight of the Tibetan people. Upon his arrival, he participated in a musical festival, amongst them the renowned Swiss band The Young Gods whose singer Franz Treichler had strongly supported the artist’s action and had organized the performance on Place des Nations, in front of Geneva UN headquarters.  It inspired Tibetan Warrior, a documentary film directed by Dodo Hunziker and produced by Urs Schnell, about the quest of Loten Namling from Europe to India where he met with politicians, experts and young activists prior to requesting an audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama,
