October 15, 2015 - Dr. Laurel Kendall, Chair of the Division of Anthropology and Curator of Asian Ethnographic Collections at the American Museum of Natural History, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, and president-elect of the Association for Asian Studies, explores the divine nature of Korean shaman paintings in her new book, God Pictures in Korean Contexts: The Ownership and Meaning of Shaman Paintings, co-authored by Jongsung Yang, Director of the Museum of Shamanism in Seoul, and Yul Soo Yoon, Founder and Director of the Gahoe Museum.
What makes a shaman painting sacred? Can these art pieces ever be anything but magical? Dr. Laurel Kendall navigates the journey of shaman paintings as they pass hands from painters to shamans to art collectors. Join us to examine the boundary between the art world and tangible aspects of religious practice.

i have had a near death experience 2 years ago and ever since i have been painting frantically and having visions in my paintings. i also hear voices continually. i have a pattern over my body which only recently occurred i see faces in almost everything like picasso style portraits i have tried to talk to my parents but i think its got to the stage i need to speak to someone abut this.my body markings animate when i zone out on them i have video of the markings on my face.
i would be pleased to hear from you if you have had any dealings with the spirit world because before my nde i didn't have any belief in spirits and since i have come back i feel i need people to know about an other energy we can't sense.
