Art Docent Talk | The Goddess: Images of Power, Aug 12 @ 7 PM
Friends of the Alameda Free Library is proud to present a free online art docent talk, organized by the Friends @ Home Committee.
Goddesses are central figures in many Asian religions. From fertile earth maidens and nurturing mothers to wrathful avengers and wise advisors, female deities have played vital roles in the lives of their followers and supplicants. In this illuminating webinar, docent Bianca Larson explores the many depictions of goddesses throughout Asia, drawing on works from the Asian Art Museum’s permanent collection.
Bianca Larson’s interest in Asian art began 15 years ago during a trip to China, where she was captivated by the country’s remarkable art and culture. Further visits to museums, temples, and historic sites across Asia deepened her appreciation. A docent at the Asian Art Museum for the past 10 years, Bianca is passionate about making Asian art engaging and accessible for museum visitors. She has also spent a decade bringing art presentations to community groups and libraries.
Join us online for an inspiring exploration of divine feminine power, artistry, and tradition across Asia.
