Join the Knowledge Quarter for our online event series; Virtual Private Views. While we have to take a break from our in-person private views, we are working with curators to bring the KQ's cultural offering to the digital realm! Join us at 3pm on Wednesday 06 May for an online experience brought to you by SOAS' Brunei Gallery.

 

The exhibition, Embodied Liberation, will lead the audience through different chronological periods of yoga’s history using a variety of visual and interactive mediums which derive from the diverse methodological approaches used by the research team. Handwritten Sanskrit manuscripts, which are fascinating samples of the principal textual discoveries of the project, will be on display. A vivid Mughal painting of pre-modern asceticism will be contrasted with photographs and video material sourced during extensive ethnographic fieldwork of present-day ascetic practitioners in India, including very rare examples of female practitioners.
