Asian Art Museum Docent Talk-Yoga: Art of Transformation
Designed for: Adults (18+)
Join us for an artful afternoon as an Asian Art Museum docent discusses their latest exhibit. Yoga: The Art of Transformation explores yoga's goals, its Hindu as well as Buddhist, Jain, and Sufi manifestations, its means of transforming body and consciousness, and its profound philosophical foundation. The docent will share highlights of the more than 120 works included in the exhibit that date from the third to the early twentieth century, temple sculptures, devotional icons, illustrated manuscripts, and court paintings - as well as colonial and early modern photographs, books, and films - illuminating yoga's central tenets and its obscured histories. Free. No reservations necessary.
