Pekar Monsal: A Tibetan Woman Artist

September 3, 2022 by palden.gyal

Pema Tamang

Here is a website created by Pema Tamang introducing the contemporary Tibetan female artist Pekar Monsal, one of the few established female figures of modern Tibetan art. Pekar Monsal advocates for gender equity and the empowerment of Tibetan women. Through numerous examples of Pekar Monsal’s artworks, the author analyses her artistic reflections on specific themes, such as the female experience of religion, spirituality, erotism, childbirth and child-rearing, motherhood, and the status of women.
