Join us for a Chinese language tour of the exhibition "Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China."
About this Event

, presents more than forty large-scale photographs created by fourteen contemporary artists in China between 1993 and 2006. The exhibition is divided into three interrelated thematic sections—The Presence of the Past, East and West, and Performance and the Body—which together explore how artists used performance and diverse photographic and aesthetic methods to capture, freeze, and criticize the new sociopolitical, economic, and cultural environment of China post 1989.

On view for the first time at the Kemper Art Museum, these immersive, often oversize works constitute a significant recent addition to the institution’s holdings of contemporary Chinese art.

Led by student educators, the Museum’s public tours encourage visitors to learn and discover through close looking, conversation, and creative engagement with artworks on view.

This tour will be led in Chinese. Free and open to the public.

Please check in at the Welcome Desk when arriving for the tour.
