Join Assistant Professor of History Yu-chi Chang and curator Monique D’Almeida for a closer look at the Meiji war prints in the exhibition Bunmei Kaika: Political Landscape in Early Modern and Modern Japan. This talk explores the 1874 Japanese military campaign against the indigenous peoples of southern Taiwan, discussing how the event demonstrates colonial thinking during the early Meiji period. After a brief Q&A, visitors are invited to join D’Almeida in the temporary galleries to examine Meiji period war prints featured in Bunmei Kaika.

This event is free and open to the public.
