As Professor of Visual Anthropology Claire Harris explains: “Her pictures of friends and family project new modes of being Tibetan : whether as consumers of global commodities in Lhasa or as hipsters who are utterly at home in a multicultural city like London. Rather than being the objects of an exoticizing regard in a foreigner’s catalogue of ethnicities, Droma’s subjects are individuals who play with the stereotypes of Tibetanness, adopting or discarding them as shiwftly as a catwalk model changes clothes.”
