Nyema Droma is a young Tibetan photographer and curator from Lhasa, in the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People?s Republic of China. She developed her practice as a photographer at the London College of Fashion and has worked in both the UK and China. 0For 'Performing Tibetan Identities', Nyema photographed other young Tibetans, whether living in Europe as members of the Tibetan diaspora, or in Tibetan-speaking areas of China. Her pictures document the many things they share as global citizens and consumers of popular culture, as well as the particularities of their Tibetan heritage. By producing double portraits of each person, in daily wear and ?traditional? clothing, Nyema alludes to the fluidity of identity formation and how it may be expressed in dress and objects, revealing the range of options for self-fashioning that are available to contemporary Tibetans.00Exhibition: Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK (13.10.2018-30.05.2019).
