Event Details

Hen House presents Tiny Show 2, an all-female/trans/non-binary exhibit featuring grand concepts on a miniature scale. The artists challenged themselves to create works within the physical constraints of 5in x 5in, with the hope of confronting our society’s all-too-often narrow view of women and their place in the artistic continuum. As the concepts depicted transcend the boundaries of their physical size, so too does the courage, creativity and genius of women.

Join us opening night on November 15th from 7pm-12am at Good Fast Cheap DC (524 Rhode Island Ave NE). There will be live DJs, live painting, drinks and food available.

Gallery Hours on Saturday, November 16th and Sunday, November 17th are from12pm-5pm.

Sunday night, November 17th from 6pm-10pm we’ll be holding a fundraiser/Bingo night benefitting HIPS (find out more about their organization at www.hips.org)

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “The History of Tibetan Buddhism,” with Justin Jacobs, associate professor of history at American University and scholar of ancient China and the Silk Road.

Come take a scholarly journey to Tibet, the “rooftop of the world,” to gain a deep understanding of the history and current status of Tibetan Buddhism.

Your guide will be Justin Jacobs, who previously has given fantastic Profs and Pints talks on Chinese philosophy, the Silk Road, and the history of archeology. He’ll teach you about the origins of Tibetan Buddhism and the invention and evolution of the Dalai Lama reincarnation process. You’ll also learn about the lineage of the Dalai Lamas, about their contentious and oft-misunderstood relationship with the rulers of China over the centuries, and about how China has long attempted to manipulate how the Dalai Lama is named.

Our chief stop on this virtual tour will be Lhasa’s Potala Palace, a towering red and white structure that serves as a symbol of both the unique brand of Buddhism found in Tibet and of the Tibetan nation itself. Since its construction in the seventeenth century, the Potala Palace has been home to ten Dalai Lamas and witnessed several traumatic encounters with the outside world. We’ll explore the inner sanctum of this religious fortress, and examine the art and artifacts that have animated Tibetan Buddhism’s past and continue to mold its future.

You’ll come away from this talk fully conversant in the arcane politics and rituals destined to accompany the selection of the next Dalai Lama sometime in the near future. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15. Save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk begins 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself adequate time to get seated and settled in.)
