Lectures at Home
Enjoy the arts at home with a series of films by Arts Society Accredited Lecturers, published every fortnight. This week:
Himalayan Encounters - lecture by Zara Fleming
In this lecture, Zara Fleming talks about her impassioned interest in Buddhist culture. Her early interest while still at school led her to the Himalayas working in a refugee camp. This story is not just about Zara's personal involvement in the country but the Buddhist art that means so much to her.
