Virtual Lecture Series: Expressions of Gender in Asian Art
10 AM | Online via Zoom
Learn about how gender depictions have existed in art through numerous Asian cultures
Gender-fluid and ambiguously gendered depictions have existed in the art of numerous Asian cultures for thousands of years. Often, this portrayal of people and deities of indeterminate gender was informed by the spiritual concept of nonduality. Explore some of the fascinating representations of gender in various Asian traditions as illustrated by objects from the Asian Art Museum’s collection.
This one-hour virtual lecture by one of our community speaker docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
