*Sold Out* The Spice of Faith: Jesuits and the Arts and Emotions of 'Accommodation' Other events...
A public lecture by Professor Yasmin Haskell, Cassamarca Foundation Chair of Latin Humanism, The University of Western Australia.

To what extent did early modern Jesuits evince what we might call 'transcultural empathy' for the non-European peoples they encountered in the overseas missions? Was there anything in the Jesuits' training and 'way of proceeding' that rendered them especially receptive to different cultures, or that encouraged them to see through others' eyes? And what emotional work did 'exotic' arts, crafts, and other cultural products - some beautiful examples are on display in the 'Treasure Ships' exhibition - perform as tools for conversion and in fortifying Jesuits' sense of their global, corporate identity?

This lecture is presented by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies and the Art Gallery of Western Australia and is part of a special lecture series being held in conjunction with the 'Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices' Exhibition.

The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Art Gallery of South Australia and is on display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 10 October 2015 - 31 January 2016.

Attendees at this final lecture in the series will be able to purchase discounted tickets to a small private exhibition tour with AGWA Director Stefano Carboni before the lecture (5pm-6pm).
