SUMMARY:Dragons on the Tibetan Plateau - Virtual Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Silk was one of the most important representative commodities in the cultural exchange between Tibet and China during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Chinese emperors often gifted silk to foreign ambassadors and visitors to help build the diplomatic relationships with other territories.  \n Tibetan aristocrats such as the Dalai Lama\, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people\, and other ambassadors to and from Tibet highly valued the Chinese dragon-patterned silk and sought it as gifts when offering tributes or trading with China. The symbols and figures on the silk represented prominent Buddhist ideas and also the political power of the Ming and Qing empires. The variations of the dragon pattern found on chubas\, Tibetan robes\, as either gifts or commodities demonstrates some of the regulations of the Chinese imperial court.  \n Tibetan textiles in Dragons on the Tibetan Plateau include robes and textiles made of Chinese silks and decorated with variations on Chinese dragon patterns. The textiles in this exhibition feature dragons with claws\, horns\, tails\, and in a variety of colours\, and they were produced using different weaving and embroidery techniques.  \n All textiles featured in this exhibition are from the University of Alberta Museums’ Mactaggart Art Collection. Edmonton philanthropists Drs. Sandy and Cécile Mactaggart\, generously began donating their collection to the University of Alberta in 2005. The Mactaggart Art Collection contains more than 1\,000 works of art\, textiles\, handscrolls\, albums\, and more from ancient and modern East Asia. \nhttps://www.ualberta.ca/museums/visit-explore/exhibitions/online-exhibitions/vrdragonsonthetibetanplateau.html \n\n\nAudio Tour Transcripts\n\nWelcome to Dragons on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF] \nVariations on the Dragon Pattern – 1 [PDF] \nVariations on the Dragon Pattern – 2 [PDF] \nRegulating Costumes During the Qing Dynasty – 1 [PDF] \nRegulating Costumes During the Qing Dynasty – 4 [PDF] \nMaking the Dragon: Pattern Making Techniques – 1 [PDF] \nMaking the Dragon: Pattern Making Techniques – 2 [PDF] \nConclusion and Tibet Textile Imports and Trades with China [PDF]

SUMMARY:Work of the Week Celebrates Asian Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Alberta Foundation of the Arts \nFor this week’s Work of the Week\, we are highlighting a few of the diverse artworks in our collection by Canadians of Asian descent\, because May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada! \nAsian Heritage Month is a time to learn about and celebrate the many contributions of Canadians of Asian descent\, who have done so much to make our country an amazing place to live. Immigrants to Canada from East Asia\, Southern Asia\, Western\, Central and Southeast Asia have brought with them a rich cultural history\, including diverse languages\, art\, religions and traditions. \nThis year’s Asian Heritage Month comes at a time when Canadians of Asian descent have been facing an increase in anti-Asian hate and violence. That’s why it’s important to take this time to acknowledge and appreciate the achievements of Asian-Canadians and to stand together against all forms of anti-Asian racism. \nPlease enjoy these artworks by Chin Shek Lam\, Diana Un-Jin Cho and Do-Hee Sung. \nhttps://www.affta.ab.ca/news/work-week-celebrates-asian-heritage-month \n
