The Center for Asia-Pacific Area Studies has prepared five presentations that will dive into the complexities of cultural exchange. The presentations will be approximately 15-20 minutes long, accompanied by stories and explanations of each image. A short and easy quiz with 5-8 questions (depending on the available remaining time) will follow. Winners will be rewarded with a special gift designed for this event.
