About the event
On December 3, 2023, the Boxser Diversity Initiative (BDI) and WEDU-TV co-hosted the second session of their three-part discussion series at the James Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The event featured a lively conversation between Emily Kapes, Curator of Art at the James Museum, and Anthony Lee, Kendall Professor of Art History at Mount Holyoke College.
The discussion centered on key objects from the special exhibition From Far East to West and explored their connections to historical encounters between Chinese communities and others in the 19th-century American West.
This engaging event provided attendees with insightful perspectives on art, culture, and history, illuminating the complex interactions that shaped the American West during this period.
Held as part of the James Museum’s Adult Lecture Series and generously sponsored by Todd and Karen Wanek, the event required advance reservations due to limited seating.
