The Institute of Advanced Studies and the Art Gallery of Western Australia are pleased to co-sponsor a special lecture series in conjunction with the Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices exhibition.
This lecture examines whether the Jesuits’ training and ‘way of proceeding’ rendered them especially receptive to different cultures, or encouraged them to see through others’ eyes. It asks the question as to what emotional work did ‘exotic’ arts, crafts, and other cultural products – as illustrated in the Treasure Ships exhibition – perform as tools for conversion and in fortifying Jesuits’ sense of their global, corporate identity.
The Spice of Faith: Jesuits and the Arts and Emotions of ‘Accommodation’
A public lecture by Yasmin Haskell, Cassamarca Foundation Chair of Latin Humanism
Lecture free | Lecture attendees will receive a special ticket price for Treasure Ships
An exhibition tour with AGWA Director Stefano Carboni will take place at 5pm.
