[WEBCAST] Arts, Culture and Diversity | The Legacy of Confucianism Across Asia
VIEW EVENT DETAILSAsia Society Australia X National Gallery of Victoria
How do faith, religion and belief systems shape communities and how is this reflected in the art that is produced?
Inspired by works in the NGV Collection, explore the relationship between faith, art and society in a series of conversations – starting in November with Confucianism. Join Asia Society Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria as we explore the ongoing legacy of Confucianism across Asia.
Many years after his death, Confucius continues to influence a large part of Asia though the values of respect of hierarchy, social conformity, and education to achieve personal and social order. How have different Asian countries internalised Confucianism as they modernised? How has this legacy impacted and supported economic growth and social change in Asia and the response to COVID-19?
