MUNDOLOGIA: 90 years of the Dalai Lama - 12.30 p.m.
Special lecture on the 90th birthday of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama!
No other photographer has followed the Dalai Lama as closely over so many years as Manuel Bauer. In his impressive lecture "90 years of the Dalai Lama - 35 years of photography", the renowned Swiss photographer takes us on a personal journey through the life story of the 14th Dalai Lama - told in pictures and moving moments.
Bauer has been documenting the public work and private life of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate for over three decades. The Dalai Lama allowed the Swiss photographer to work in his immediate surroundings and to be present even when the doors were closed to others. The result is a unique, intimate portrait of an extraordinary personality that is deeply moving and at the same time provides insights into the history of Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism and the political challenges of exile.
The lecture combines impressive photography with personal experiences and exciting background stories.
