Weintz Art Lecture Series: Maggie Cao

Stanford

What if whale teeth could rewrite colonial history? Art historian Maggie Cao explores how nineteenth-century whale ivory, traded between US whalers, Chinese merchants, and Fijian communities, became an unexpected archive of time itself. Expect a mind-bending journey through maritime material culture that challenges whose clocks count.
