About

In East Asian art, non-human subjects such as deities, mythological beings, natural phenomena, animals, and everyday objects have long been represented with agency, coexisting alongside their human counterparts. Featuring objects from the Hood Museum's East Asian art collection from past to present, Attitude of Coexistence explores how art offers an opportunity to experience this inclusive and collaborative attitude toward non-human subjects.

This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and generously supported by the Philip Fowler 1927 Memorial Fund.
