This symposium aims to explore the complex roles of artworks in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism across Asia and throughout the world. Activated in transformative rituals and saturated with tactility and visuality, these art forms are created to capture the sublime. They serve as significant non-verbal communications and they assert their agency, and continue to shape human perception.

Open and free to the public. Registration is recommended. Join us for seven presentations by prominent scholars and keynotes by Dr. Kaja McGowan (Cornell University) and Dr. Lisa Owen (University of North Texas). Both sessions will be followed by discussions. First session moderated by Dr. Henry Delcore and second session moderated by Dr. Veena Howard.

Date: Thursday, April 18
Time: 9 a.m - 5:30 p.m.
Location: Peters Ellipse Gallery Fresno State Library, 2nd Floor
