Come and learn why bats and spiders represent good luck, peonies riches and glory, and a bowl of apples a wish for peace. Our speaker, Patricia Bjaaland Welch, is the author of the popular reference guide Chinese Art: A Guide to Motifs and Visual Imagery (Tuttle, 2008) and a well-known speaker and tour guide in Asia and abroad.

9. Thursday, 28 Nov, 2013 11:00am - 12:30pm - Art Outreach Interest Group: Modernism in Indian Art

Learn how “modern art” also developed outside of the West, albeit with a difference. Our speaker Dr. Priya Maholay-Jaradi will introduce several important Indian artists and their practices from 1870s – 1960s to illustrate this “alternative modernity”. This introduction will include the materials and technologies of art, the artist’s style of working, sources of reference and the backdrop of India’s colonization and nationalism, both of which shaped its search for modernity. Dr. Priya Maholay-Jaradi received her MA in Art History and Archaeology from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London (2001); and a doctorate from National University of Singapore (2012). As a fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), Leiden (2013) she initiated a project on "Mapping Collecting Practices in Asia". She has worked as a curator in Mumbai, and at the Asian Civilisations Museum and NUS Museum, Singapore.
