Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Night of Poets

July 31, 2015;

The Night of Poets was celebrated as 76 poets gathered in Dzoge and Machuin in Amdo in north-eastern Tibet on July 26 to honour both contemporary and classic poets. Tibetan communities in India and western countries also celebrated the evening, many in remote areas contributing via WeChat. News of the Tibetan celebration has only just emerged; the night is seen as a success in the face of China’s attempts to stamp out Tibetan culture and art.
