Art Study Center Seminar
Join curatorial fellow and painting specialist Janet O’Brien and Shriya Srinivasan, an accomplished Bharatanatyam dancer and professor of biomedical engineering at Harvard, on November 8, at 1:30pm for a cross-disciplinary seminar on the theme of romantic and divine love in Indian painting and dance. O’Brien will examine a selection of scenes, focusing on pictorial narratives and gestures meant to evoke a wide range of emotions. Srinivasan will demonstrate how the various expressions of love convey the mood of each scene. She will also explain the neuroscience behind an audience’s emotional reaction to the dance moves.
