Buddhist Art and Epigraphic Practices across Asia, Munich, 18–19 March 2027

The symposium aims to bring together scholars working on Buddhist art and epigraphic practices across different regions, languages, and historical periods, with particular attention to inscriptions associated with Buddhist objects, portable images (i.e., paintings, statues, altars), and material culture.
We warmly invite proposals for papers addressing these themes, including broader comparative and methodological perspectives.
