SUMMARY:Lecture by Kerry Brown\, "In the Presence of the Divine: Identity a
 nd Meaning in Newar Buddhist Art"
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend the following special guest lecture b
 y Professor Kerry Lucinda Brown (Savannah College of Art and Design): \n
 \n\nTime: Friday\, April 12\, 06:00—08:00 PM\n\nLocation: Munk Centre fo
 r Global Affairs\, 108N—Seminar Room\, North House\n\nLecture: "In the P
 resence of the Divine: Identity and Meaning in Newar Buddhist Art" as part
  of the lecture series The Newars and their Neighbours\n\nVibrant color
 s and pulsating sounds of religious devotion punctuate the streets and gul
 lies of Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley. Among the Valley’s Newar Buddhist co
 mmunity\, art and ritual work in concert to make the divine present in the
  urban landscape of the city. For Newar Buddhists\, art and ritual perform
 ance reinforce core philosophical principles and cultural ideals related t
 o sacred space and ritual cosmology. This lecture examines the role of fes
 tivals and image processions in manifesting the divine in the city of Pata
 n. The vibrant ritual festivities and artistic traditions build layers of 
 sacred geography and Buddhist cosmology into the streets and courtyards of
  the city spaces. Thus\, this lecture explores the creation of sacred spac
 e in the city of Patan through festivals and other celebrations to examine
  how the Newar Buddhist community navigates the diversity of religious exp
 erience in the Kathmandu Valley to ultimately reaffirm their own religious
  identity.\n\nKerry Lucinda Brown\, Professor of Art History at Savannah C
 ollege of Art and Design\, is a specialist in South Asian and Himalayan ar
 t. Her research explores the relationship between art and religious identi
 ty in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley\, situating Newar Buddhist art within the
  larger context of South Asian Buddhist heritage.
