Jews have traveled for centuries, as both merchants and refugees, from Western Asia and Eastern Europe to China, bringing their cultures and customs with them.

Nancy Berliner, Wu Tung Senior Curator of Chinese Art, and Simona Di Nepi, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Curator of Judaica, consider how the art made for and by Jews in China both embraced local aesthetics and maintained unique Jewish features and perspectives.

This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however, details may be subject to change.
