(PRESS RELEASE)_July workshops, classes, and demonstrations: Wednesday, July 7 Bridge to the Cosmos – Big Bang (the Painting and the Theory) Explained – Live Virtual Lecture by Dr. Ata Sarajedini Time: 1pm – 2:30pm Cost: FREE with paid museum admission.

In conjunction with the museum’s latest exhibition, Painting Enlightenment: Experiencing Wisdom and Compassion through Art and Science, Dr. Sarajedini will explain the scientific perspective of the solo artist in the exhibition, Japanese painter Iwasaki Tsuneo (1917-2002). Iwasaki was a biologist by trade and brought his unique experiences and systematic perspective to his compositions, which he created as part of his Buddhist devotional practice. Dr. Sarajedini will highlight the painting titled, Big Bang: E=MC2, to help better understand the deep connections between humans and the stars that Iwasaki conveyed through his artwork. Dr. Sarajedini will speak about the stars on Tanabata Day. Tanabata takes place in Japan every year, and pays homage to two star-crossed lovers, princess Orihime and prince Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair), who only see each other once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month (July 7).
