Look forward to it! If you're in NYC, check out this exhibition (-Jan 5, 2025), wonderful objects from three 4th-century states whose rulers brought together cultures from Mongolian steppe, Korean Peninsula & inner China. A must-see for anyone interested in early East Asian art.
I'm looking forward to being part of this wonderful symposium at the China Institute in NYC. Complimentary tickets will be offered to anyone in the academic community.
