For this episode we decided to meet and discuss (like Dream and Hob Gadling in The Sandman) at least two new things we had done/learned/found worth thinking about since our last episode. These include questions about language and culture inspired by a trip to Ladakh, digging through the libraries and archives of former imperial powers like England and other European countries for Tibet-related materials (where would Tibet be on the late Queen’s Christmas culture property repatriation gift list?), Iranian filmmaker Kiarostami’s Koker trilogy and the idea of self-reflexivity in cinema and Tibetan politics. Particularly in Tibetan politics, let us reiterate. Overall, a real khichdi of an episode. All under an hour, we’re mighty please to add.

Intro/Outro theme: Karachal - Alash Ensemble (freemusicarchive.org/music/Alash_Ensemble/)
