The exhibition showcases key works made in Asia from the second century to the seventeenth century. The artists approach objects from multiple cultures, heritages, and points of view, and they consciously reach beyond their individual backgrounds and experiences to render a capacious proposition of diaspora and international exchange today.

In this exhibition, conversations abound: between the contemporary artists and their historical peers, and among Banerjee, Kim, and Pindell themselves, who not only have found inspiration and present-day relevance in the premodern works, but have discovered renewal and regeneration in their own practices through interacting with powerful and enduring art across time.
