TU Osher News & Notes

Getting to the point

target

I have a way of making a long story even longer. I fill in all the details that you don’t even need to know. So in a rare moment of derring-do I’m going to get to the point and give you some straight facts about the upcoming fall:

  • We heard you! Based on survey results, we will be holding most of our fall courses in-person.
  • We will announce the locations once all of our contracts are signed and finalized—but rest assured, all class locations take your top concerns into consideration: safety, up-to-date classrooms, and easy, plentiful parking.
  • We will keep you informed! Details will be forthcoming as soon as we are able to send them out. In the meantime, please check out the list of courses for fall 2021 to get a sense of the great stuff we have planned.  
  • We are grateful for our wonderful members and instructors! Thank you all for patience and continued commitment to Osher!

Stay safe and healthy,

Virtual Art Exhibition

Presented by the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University

Phaan Howng: A Bag of Rocks for a Bag of Rice

Now through July 31

Exquisitely disposed rocks and trees and vegetation. The promise of an inspired space of meditation and detachment. Such has been of the Westernized image of the Chinese and Japanese garden. Yet, such enchanted “natural” spaces camouflage the histories of empire, wealth, privilege, exploitation, ecological extraction, and displacement behind their creation. Phaan Howng’s site-specific installation engages East Asian gardens as a case study of the dynamics embedded within these private spaces.
