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.
