About the Lecture:

This lecture sheds new light on the peripheral style of Muslim material culture that evolved in East Asia. By reconsidering the art-historiographical debate on this style - which tends to be viewed as neither typically Islamic nor Chinese - this lecture addresses various methodological and disciplinary challenges when it comes to the study of Islamic art as a history of Asian art.
