Vishnu's Cosmic Ocean: Blessing Ceremony

Join us for a communal blessing ceremony for the exhibition Vishu’s Cosmic Ocian, on view from March 7 to September 7, 2026. Led by monks from the Cambodian Buddhist temple Watt Buddhacheya Mongkol in Woodbridge, Virginia, the ceremony uses practices such as chanting, sprinkling water, and specific hand gestures to confer protection and good luck. Afterwards, experience the exhibition and meet curator Emma Natalya Stein.

Cambodian-inspired refreshments will be provided by Oh Graze Away and Little Lana’s Cookies.
