10. Jigme Choedak and the Art of Genyik
Listen now
Description
On the first episode of our second season, we have with us Jigme Choedak or as his friends call him: JC! He is a young Tibetan Artist who is freelancing, doing commissions, and making his own Modern Tibetan Art and publishing it on his Instagram account @jcansee. His personal art centres on a clash of themes between Tibetan metaphors and modern and Western artistic metaphors. He sees his Art as a chocolate Momo- a strange blend of the 'Tibetan' and the 'World.' He plans to ultimately make his own comic book or series and we talk about that as well. We ask his thought on how young Tibetan artists are doing, what their struggles look like, the impacts of the generational gap in artistic standards and 'Genyik(Trash).Studio' which is his endeavour to create a community of young artists and strive together. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-odyssey0/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-odyssey0/support
