Short talks and Q&As on Museum topics 

This month, Kit Brooks, the Museum's curator of Asian art, will discuss the special exhibition Takeda Hideo’s Genpei: Defying Authority, which features a series of silkscreen prints that cynically reinterprets Japan’s Genpei War (1180–85) within the context of twentieth-century social upheavals. 

After the talk, head upstairs to the Allen Adler and Frances Beatty Adler Gallery for an informal conversation with the curator.
