Fables are stories that are often told to underscore a moral that is prominent or important in a society. Dating as far back as 1500 BCE, some of the world’s oldest fables originate in the Asian diaspora. These stories have been shared across the continent through oracular storytelling, literature, and compellingly beautiful artforms that illustrate and underscore their social philosophies.On view for the Spring 2025 semester, the tradition of Ðông Hò woodcut painting exemplifies this form of inspirational visual interpretation, sharing symbols of good luck wishes for the New Year and humorous tales of animals who have been placed into human settings. Also on display are a series of Chinese and Japanese woodblock prints that narrate stories of Immortals and supernatural, legendary figures as well as traditional landscapes and nature scenes.Throughout the semester, you are invited to celebrate these works and their messages of hope, positivity, and wisdom.Monday, February 3 – Friday, April 25; 9am – 5pm.

The advent of the Chaco World transformed life in the U.S. Southwest. Whereas most models of Chaco society emphasize material wealth and competition among emergent great houses, many Indigenous scholars argue that knowledge and relationships are central to understanding power. In this talk, Dr. Kelsey Hanson shows how paint produced for Chaco performances—a technology historically maintained by ritual sodalities—can be used to reconstruct sociopolitical organization during this pivotal time. Using innovative micro-sampling and non-destructive methods, Hanson identifies a unique and widely shared recipe for blue-green—a color associated with moisture and vegetation—suggesting a circulation of knowledge in great house performances. This research highlights how chromatic knowledge fostered participation in Chaco society.
