What happens when the divine is given a body? Have gods created humans in their own image, or is it the other way around? This presentation explores representations of beauty, divinity, and physical transformation in different Asian cultures and religions. Through artworks from the Asian Art Museum’s renowned collection, explore how artists have envisioned the divine, imbuing their creations with forms meant to reflect supernatural qualities.

The Asian Art Museum Docent Program is generously supported by the Dhanam Foundation and Society for Asian Art. This program is made possible by South San Francisco Friends of the Library.

Participate in-person at the library or watch from home.
