Patrick Dowdey, curator at the Freeman Center for East Asian Studies, adjunct assistant professor of anthropology, and adjunct assistant professor of East Asian Studies, is a co-curator of Pearl of the Snowlands: Buddhist Printing at the Derge Parkhang, an exhibit of original prints from Tibetan Buddhists.

The exhibit will be held from Sept. 11 to Dec. 5 at The Center for Book and Paper Arts at Columbia College in Chicago.  The prints from the Derge Parkhang are still created from hand-carved woodblocks, as they have been for over 300 years.

Dowdey will participate in a Nov. 21 panel discussion about the prints he helped retrieve from the monastery.
