Lecture by: Gary Geddes has written and edited more than 40 books and received 12 literary awards. His books Swimming Ginger and The Terracotta Army are steeped in Asian culture.

The survival of the terracotta warriors and the famous 12th-century Chinese scroll painting, Qingming Shanghe Tu, is not only a miracle, but also raises important questions about the role of the artist as a keeper and interpreter of the records. According to Gary Geddes, the role of art is to make history strange, to make us see the past, and ourselves, in a new light. Hear him read and discuss (with visuals) The Terracotta Army and Swimming Ginger.
