About this Event

Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator, joins Jianqing Chen, and Jiayi Chen, assistant professors in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures in Arts & Sciences, for a conversation on select artworks in the exhibition . Throughout the conversation, Eckmann, Chen, and Chen will share insights from their unique disciplines and research to contextualize how artists employed avant-garde techniques and concepts to speak to their own experiences and the broader sociopolitical, economic, and cultural shifts in China between 1993 and 2006.
