The Making of Field of Wishes

When artist Sonam Dolma Brauen was a young girl, she and her family fled from Tibet to India. One of the few objects they brought was a mold for making tsatsas, votive offerings used to commemorate the dead. Today, figurines modeled after that tsatsa mold are at the center of her work in Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now. See how this personally significant installation came together.

Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now is a contemporary group exhibition of 32 artists from the Himalayas, Asia, and diaspora whose artworks are presented alongside objects from the Rubin Museum’s collection. Reimagine is on view in New York City March 15–October 6, 2024, and then travels to Chicago and beyond.
