The museum says:

“Across Shared Waters’’ is exhibition of work by contemporary artists of Himalayan heritage alongside traditional Tibetan Buddhist artwork from the Jack Shear Collection. The work explore "themes of identity, consumerism, place, and cultural expectations." Some use traditional Tibetan cultural markers while others work outside of that framework.
