Summary:

"This beautifully designed book accompanies an exhibition of new works by Pio Abad, the second exhibition of the Ashmolean NOW series that will be held at the Ashmolean Museum between 10 Feb - 8 Sep 2024. At the Ashmolean, Abad has selected artefacts from the University of Oxford's extensive collections and created new drawings, engravings and sculptures in response to personages and narratives embedded within the historical works. In facilitating transhistorical and transcultural conversations, Abad's exhibition and this book serve as a conduit for the stories of the objects to continue"--Publisher's website.
