DESCRIPTION:BuddhistRoad Guest Lecture by Birgit Angelika Schmidt (Berlin)
 \n\nThe lecture will be available live at Zoom. Please pre-register until 
 13. December 2022\, 12 pm. Zoom lecture times: 2pm (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, R
 om\, Vienna)\; 8 pm (Beijing)\; 8am (East Cost)\n\nThis lecture will focus
  on the clay-based sculptural production from Buddhist archaeological site
 s along the Northern Silk Road in Eastern Central Asia. Their rediscovery 
 in the course of international so-called research expeditions at the begin
 ning of the 20th century led to the transfer of a large number of art and 
 cultural objects to various collections worldwide. Analysis of material an
 d technical aspects in the production of clay-based sculptures from the Tu
 rfan Collection at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Berlin\, can lead to
  a better understanding of the historical networks and cultural contexts.
  By considering the material itself as an important source of information
 \, local patterns can be identified and compared\, so that transregional c
 onnections regarding the production of these sculptures can be explored.\n
 \n\n\nBirgit Angelika Schmidt is Graduate Conservator and Research Fellow 
 at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Berlin and doctoral candidate at the
  Institute for Near Eastern Archaeology at the Freie Universität\, Berlin
 . Her research interests include archaeological and conservation sciences\
 , focusing on Central Asian clay-based artefacts and the study and scienti
 fic investigation of their materials and manufacturing techniques.\n\nAt t
 he Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)\, Berlin she h
 as gained considerable experience in the implementation of scientific anal
 yses of art and cultural heritage. Her practical and field working activit
 ies include the conservation of the Tsatsapuri Temple in Ladakh\, India. N
 ext to co-curating\, she did the examination\, condition reporting and tre
 atment of clay-based sculptures for their exhibition at the Humboldt Forum
 \, Berlin.\n\n\n\nTo join the lecture\, please register at   \nhttp://ru
