Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
China in Twelve Artworks

When:
January 23, 2016 10:00am to May 8, 2016 5:00pm
Where
How to understand China from a historical perspective? For a civilization that diligently produces more written documents than most other cultures, mining the wealth of textual sources is the usual approach. Here, however, we take a route less traveled. China is shown in 12 artworks, spanning three millennia from the Bronze Age to the 20th century. Most are displayed in the University Study Gallery along with a selection of complementary objects. The other key works are on view in gallery 1600 (object 1943.51.22) and gallery 1740 (objects 1943.52.103 and 1943.52.180) on Level 1.
This installation complements a course taught by Eugene Wang, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Asian Art. The University Study Gallery supports the coursework of numerous Harvard departments and schools. It is a gallery classroom dedicated to the installation of original works of art that serve as primary source materials for interdisciplinary study.
The installation is made possible in part by funding from the Gurel Student Exhibition Fund and the José Soriano Fund.
