In the heart of Beijing's traditional hutongs, Jomo has transformed an ordinary space into a vibrant center for Tibetan language and culture. Originally from Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, Jomo moved to Beijing in 2013 with a mission: to preserve and teach the Tibetan language amidst the bustling capital.
Her studio, nestled within the narrow lanes of the hutong, has become more than just a language center. It's a community hub where locals and expatriates alike gather to engage with Tibetan traditions, attend cultural workshops, and participate in language classes. Jomo’s passion has not only helped in promoting the Tibetan language but also in fostering a sense of community among Beijing's diverse populace.
Over the years, Jomo has expanded her activities, incorporating cultural events, art exhibitions, and social initiatives that address the needs of Tibetan residents in the city. Her studio stands as a testament to the power of cultural entrepreneurship, blending traditional values with modern urban life. As Beijing continues to grow as a global metropolis, spaces like Jomo's ensure that the rich heritage of minority communities remains alive and integrated into the city’s dynamic fabric.
