A Gallery in Macao has cancelled a live painting performance of Tashi Norbu, a Belgian Tibetan artist based in Amsterdam at the opening function of the gallery on February 26, 2017.
Simon Lam, the curator of iAOHiN Amber gallery informed the Tibetan artist right before he left Hong Kong on the ferry heading to Macao.
Tashi was informed that a 'very high ranking police officer had called and that he was blacklisted in Macao' and was urged to cancel the trip to avoid detention or deportation.
Listen to Tashi Norbu as he speaks to the Tibetan media about the incident and its effect on him.
