Christianity reached China as early as the seventh century, during the Tang dynasty. However, its presence was limited until the arrival of several Jesuit missions in the sixteenth century, which also brought Western science, mathematics, astronomy, cartography, and art to China.
In this two-day conference, scholars and experts from around the world come together to examine the complex relationship between Christianity and Chinese culture. Speakers will explore how Christian ideas, aesthetics, and religious iconography have been woven into the fabric of Chinese visual art, material culture, and architecture, from the seventeenth century to today.
This conference is held in conjunction with the special exhibition 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘢 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 1915: 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘢𝘪 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰 (till 1 June 2025).
