About the talk:
The Forum on “Jesuit Art in Macau: between Goa and Japan (16th – 17th centuries)”, covers the research project of the Macau Ricci Institute at the University of Saint Joseph focused on Jesuit art in Macau and its unique process of cultural and religious exchange and innovation. It features the intermingling of architectural and devotional patterns between the Japan, China, India and Europe. Jesuit art in Macau was a hybrid production melting Jesuit general practices following the celebrated Modum Nostrum with an amazing range of highly skilled artists coming from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Particular attention is given to artists who found refuge in Macau from persecutions in Japan. Artistic and devotional practices were exported from Macau to Japan and beyond. Macau, a peripherical area at the beginning, turned into a new centre of art and devotion.
