About This Event
Join our Deaf docent, Angela Botz, as she leads you through a fascinating exhibition -Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China - entirely in sign language.
Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China features more than forty large-scale photographs by fourteen contemporary Chinese artists created between 1993 and 2006, exploring the dramatic social, political, and cultural changes in China following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Organized into three themes—The Presence of the Past, East and West, and Performance and the Body—the exhibition highlights how artists used conceptual photography, performance, and experimental techniques to examine the loss of tradition, rapid urban transformation, Western influence, consumerism, identity, and bodily experience. Through striking and often monumental works, artists such as Hai Bo, Zhang Dali, Wang Qingsong, Hong Hao, Cang Xin, and Huang Yan challenged ideas of history, modernity, and cultural change during a pivotal era in contemporary China.
