Presented by Shanghai Studies Symposium, RAM, NYU Shanghai
Photography has always been used to envision the transformations and mutations of cities. Since its invention, it has been inextricably linked with the making and imagining of Chinese modernity and that of its most cosmopolitan cities, chiefly Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.
This event examines the photo-based work of three contemporary artists who envision the Chinese urban condition using documentary practices as well as a variety of other aesthetic and performative expressions.
About the moderators
Francesca Tarocco and Anna Greenspan are professors in NYU Shanghai and the founders of the research initiative Shanghai Studies Symposium.
