In this talk, Joanne Kim (OC 2026), Student Curatorial Assistant in Asian Art, will present her research on a group of ceramics from Korea's Three Kingdoms Period (ca. 57 BCE-676 CE). Kim will discuss these works through three intertwined histories: their roles in ancient tomb rituals, their unearthing during Japanese colonial excavations in the early 20th century, and their subsequent journey to Oberlin though missionary activity by Oberlin College alumni. These ceramics—many of which have not been displayed for decades—will be featured in an exhibition planned for fall 2026.
