SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Empress: Race\, Labor\, and Ornamental Indians
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 10\n10:00 a.m.–noon p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Dr. Siddhartha Shah\, Director of Education and Civic Engagement\, and the Curator of South Asian Art at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, Massachusetts \n  \nAt her home on the Isle of Wight\, Queen Victoria constructed a miniaturized and domesticated India over which she reigned as Empress. She commissioned an elaborate Durbar Room inspired by the grand meeting halls of Mughal India\, filled a corridor with nearly one hundred paintings of Indian heads\, and further outfitted her home with a staff of Indian men who breathed life into her most outrageous imperial fantasies. Dr. Shah’s research centers on portraits and public spectacles preserved in Queen Victoria’s personal photo albums. The manner in which the Queen displayed her Indians exposes striking parallels with slave portraits of the 16th-18th centuries. As such\, his study positions Victoria’s self-fashioning as Empress of India within a centuries-old convention of displaying black and brown servants and slaves to fulfill contrasting social and chromatic effects—Indian people as decorative props\, arranged in a symbolic and picturesque power play of light and dark\, domination\, and subordination. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:New Fragrances: The Huntington’s Expanded Chinese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 29\n1:00–2:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Phillip Bloom\, June and Simon K.C. Li Curator of the Chinese Garden and Director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies at The Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens\n \n  \nLiu Fang Yuan (the Garden of Flowing Fragrance) located on the grounds of the Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino\, California is arguably the finest Suzhou-style scholar’s garden outside of China. In the fall of 2020\, the garden celebrated the opening of several new features\, including a dramatic courtyard for the display of penjing (miniature trees similar to bonsai)\, intricate pavilions\, and winding corridors. As the pandemic is gradually tamed\, an art gallery and scholar’s studio will soon open to the public\, as well. This lecture will introduce the garden’s new features and elucidate the insights that they provide into Chinese garden history. \nPhillip E. Bloom is the June and Simon K.C. Li Curator of the Chinese Garden and director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies at The Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino\, California. A specialist in Buddhist art\, ritual\, and landscape design of the Song dynasty\, he received his Ph.D. in art history from Harvard University in 2013. Prior to moving to The Huntington in 2017\, he was assistant professor of East Asian art history at Indiana University\, Bloomington. His publications have appeared in The Art Bulletin\, Archives of Asian Art\, Orientations\, and edited volumes in English\, Chinese\, and Japanese. Since joining The Huntington as a curator\, he has helped in overseeing the recent expansion of the Chinese Garden\, including the creation of a small art gallery; his first exhibition\, “A Garden of Words: The Calligraphy of Liu Fang Yuan” will open there this fall. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.
