Artist Talk: Lee Mingwei

Speaker: Lee Mingwei (artist) 

“What does peace look like today?” Join Lee Mingwei for a talk on his ongoing collaborative artwork, Our Peaceable Kingdom, on view September 13, 2025–February 1, 2026. Lee will delve into the “family tree” of paintings by more than 40 artists who have each brought their own perspectives on peace to this ever-growing project. Now being shown for the first time with Edward Hicks’ Peaceable Kingdom (c. 1833) from the Worcester Art Museum’s collection, Lee will share what it means to reunite this installation with the painting that inspired it.
