Objects of Addiction
Update: 2023-12-10
Description
"Objects of Addiction", a new exhibition at the Harvard Art Museums, explores the entwined histories of the opium trade and the Chinese art market between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. Curator Sarah Laursen joins us to talk about how opium and Chinese art, acquired through both legal and illicit means, had profound effects on the global economy, cultural landscape, and education—and in the case of opium, on public health and immigration—still reverberate today.
