Antique and modern Buddha figures,
diverse crafts, photos of landscapes and
monasteries, herbal medicine and a powerful
and peaceful sand mandala illustrated
the culture and way of life of the
people of Tibet. The exhibition was intended
both to enchant visitors with the
richness of this ancient culture and at the
same time demythologise it. The figures
and works of art on display were collected
by Dr. Geshe Gendun Yontens during
numerous visits to Tibet, India and Nepal.
It was supplemented by photos from
these journeys. During the exhibition,
a sand mandala was created there by
Tibetan monks.

Leipzig, Johannisplatz 5 – 11
3rd December, 2010 – 14th August, 2011
Ideas about sickness and healing are very
diverse around the world and are among
the most fascinating themes in the study
of cultural differences. The special exhibition
“KALLAWAYA – The Art of Healing in
the Andes” explored the answers produced
by the Kallawaya healing culture in
the High Andes of Bolivia in response to
the constant threats to human life
through sickness and affliction. The Kallawaya
are indigenous Quechua­speaking
itinerant healers whose healing skills are
still much in demand even in the urban
centres of South America. Their roots
extend back to pre­Columbian times.
In 2003, the Kallawaya culture was placed
on UNESCO’s non­material cultural heritage
list.
