Join us for a lecture at the museum by Nora Annesley Taylor introducing audiences to the field of modern and contemporary Southeast Asian art. This program accompanies the student-curated exhibition of contemporary Myanmar paintings on view in the Visual Lab in Fall 2026.

Nora Annesley Taylor is the Alsdorf Professor of South and Southeast Asian Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a specialist in the art of the region. She is the author of Painters in Hanoi: An Ethnography of Vietnamese Art and a recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, Getty Collaborative Research Award, and is also a Fulbright Scholar.

Bringing decades of research and fieldwork, Taylor's lecture will broaden audiences' understanding of the collection and appreciation of art from across the globe.

This program is supported by the Richard De Puma Fund.
