A colorful lithograph from colonial Calcutta suggests the intense preoccupation with visualizing the immanence of divinity at a moment of rapid change. This talk by Dr. Pika Ghosh of Haverford College explores how prints reflect technological progress and the rise of global modernism, while also speaking to the search for sacredness as a way to make sense of profound change.

This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however details may be subject to change.
