Asian Art Museum: Conversations Between Contemporary Artists and Antiquity Online
Many contemporary Asian and Asian American artists reach into the past, creating works that reimagine traditional subjects or techniques in new and unexpected contexts or combinations. Whether these traditions merge or collide, the process often yields unusual and thought-provoking works of extraordinary beauty and skill.
This one-hour online lecture by Asian Art Museum community speaker docent John Kouletsis is followed by a Q&A.
