Pictures in Place, Bodies in Motion: South Indian Temple Murals
Illustrated lecture by Dr. Anna Seastrand, Assistant Professor, Department of Art History, University of Minnesota; author of Body, History, Myth: South Indian Murals, 1550-1800. Her second book, tentatively titled Trees and the Ecologies of Art in South India, reconceives the importance of trees in South Asian art and religious practice in light of their changing social, economic, artistic religious, and environmental ecologies
Chair: Prof. Vidya Dehejia, Columbia University
The talk brings together poetry, paintings, and movement. Dr. Seastrand argues that paintings link literature, legend, and pilgrimage to the somatic experiences of South Indian temple murals. The texts and paintings are dialogical, not copies of one another, but an invitation to speakers, hearers, and viewers to respond to their intertextuality in embodied and multi-sensorial experience.
