Tibet House U.S.
22 W 15th St, New York, NY 10011

Tibet House US presents Empowering the Extraordinary Dakinis, an exhibit featuring artist Rima Fujita’s recent series of work exploring the theme of female empowerment. Fujita examines women’s spiritual roles through iconography, tales and figures from the Buddhist tradition and spiritual cultures, as well as drawing upon modern influences.

Born in Tokyo and raised in New York, Fujita graduated from Parsons School of Design and has exhibited internationally to much acclaim. She is committed to philanthropic work through her “Books for Children” organization, which has created five children’s books and donated more than 12,000 books to Tibetan refugee children in exile. His Holiness The Dalai Lama himself wrote forewords for her books. Thousands of copies of her upcoming book, Tibetan Identity, will be distributed in to the Tibetan communities worldwide in December of this year.
