Tour for JASA members of Comparative Hell: Arts of Asian Underworlds exhibition at Asia Society New York

This tour of Comparative Hell: Arts of Asian Underworlds with Adriana Proser (Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Quincy Scott Curator of Asian Art, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore) will explore a carefully studied group of outstanding ritual objects, paintings and religious sculptures that are associated with the concept of Hell in South Asian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese art. This is the first comprehensive exhibition in the United States to explore portrayals of hell across the Asian religious traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Islam, examining how systems of belief and the underworlds within them are manifest in the rich artistic creations of Asia.
