The National Central Library (NCL), in collaboration with Tallinn University and the University of Tartu in Estonia, is pleased to announce two lectures on Chinese studies. It is our honor to invite Dr. An-Yi Pan潘安儀 to deliver two talks on Buddhist art on September 10th and 12th.
Dr. An-Yi Pan is an Associate Professor at the Department of History of Art and Visual Studies, Cornell University. He researches Buddhist art with special interest in the relation between Chinese intellectual participation in Buddhism and Buddhist painting, Buddhist architecture in relation to precepts, monastic hieratical structure, liturgical as well as spiritual spaces, and trans-continental blossoming of Buddhist teachings and art. Dr. Pan also devotes research to modern Chinese art and contemporary Taiwanese art, investigating the impact of colonialism and current geopolitical influence on Chinese and Taiwanese art from the late 19th century to now.
