Pluralism Project Affiliate Stuart Chandler is the curator for an exhibit entitled, “Eastern Religions Come to Western Pennsylvania.” This exhibit, being shown in the University Museum of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, focuses on the Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh traditions, especially their practice in the Pittsburgh region. Included in the show are more than one hundred photographs, examples of Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist altars, and artwork by such artists as Arpana Caur, the Singh sisters, and Kaz Tanahashi. During the reception, Stuart will provide an on-going Powerpoint slide show of visuals from the exhibit and will give a brief presentation about the project.
