Sacred Asia: Exploring Spirituality
Presented by Dr. Kevin Tangonan, Office Of Planning, Policy & Assessment
Exhibit Dates: April 28 - May 12
Location: Library Entrance

In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, "Sacred Asia: Exploring Spirituality" invites you to journey though the spiritual and cultural landscapes of Asia. This exhibit showcases a curated collection of sacred and symbolic items.

Each piece reflects the rich tapestry of beliefs, customs, and historical narratives that shape the spiritual identities of diverse Asian cultures, from religious artifacts and good luck charms to ceremonial objects and ancestral symbols, these items embody the deep connection between the material and the metaphysical.

This exhibit serves as a space to explore how tradition and spirituality are interwoven into daily life, artistic expression, and cultural continuity across generations. Through these artifacts, we celebrate the resilience, diversity, and sacred traditions that continue to guide communities throughout Asia and the Asian diaspora.
