Panel 2: Calligraphy and Poetry. This panel looks at different forms of calligraphy and writing, with attention towards the revitalization of calligraphy as mode of conversation and act of performative display. We are also interested to look at the context of yaji or elegant gatherings and the ways in which aspects of writing -- choice of text, inscribing and re-inscribing -- intertwine with concepts of gift exchange, reciprocity and exchange of ideas.
