Margaret Wiener, Assoc. Prof. of Anthropology
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

In encounters between European agents and members of Bali’s ruling classes, how did each side “see” the other, and what technologies for making and knowing worlds were brought to bear?

This talk is presented in conjunction with the exhibit "Visions of the Unseen: Picturing Balinese Ceremony and Myth." The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Atius-Sachem leadership honoraries. It is also supported by the Spurlock Museum Guild and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
