The exhibit ‘Embrace和’ uses art to visualize the localization of Christianity in China, building a bridge between scholarship, the public, digital humanities, and international outreach. It makes historical images visible, intelligible, searchable, and reusable—a scholarship‑grounded public program linking past and present, East and West, research and society. The aim is harmony without uniformity. This exhibit brings together Christian iconography and Chinese symbols, reducing misinterpretation and fostering understanding.
Visual materials spanning more than a millennium—from the 781 Xi’an Stele and Ming-dynasty woodblock prints to Republican-era Christian posters and the Fu Jen Catholic Painting School—exploring the localization of Christian imagery in China through art and cross-cultural exchange.
The opening ceremony on December 7 at 4-7pm will feature special guest Geling Yan (严歌苓) and additional distinguished speakers.
