Our monthly educational program was a tour of the exhibit at the Asia Society. This was the first time VAA paid admission to all guests so that they can participate in an educational program.
The gods and goddesses revered in Hindu religious practice in India have populated the art of that region for thousands of years, inspiring worshippers and artists alike. Images of deities continue to demonstrate their power for hundreds of millions of people as part of their daily rituals at temples, shrines, and other settings, within India and in the broader global diaspora. This exhibition focuses on the ongoing impact of classical depictions of Hindu deities on both modern and contemporary artists.
