上海外滩美术馆荣幸宣布展览“伟大的掩饰”即将呈现为期六场的学者专场导览。导览汇集来自上海及国际的学者、研究人员和文化工作者，他们将通过导览进一步扩写展览的关键主题：黑人性（Blackness）、女性主义、革命历史，以及黑人激进传统与中国之间的跨文化交流，并开启理解和参与展览作品的新方式。
这些学者专场导览将介于讲座和漫步式导览之间，为观众精炼展览中的知识节奏，提供充满活力的对话能量。
首场导览，上海外滩美术馆将与 中非上海国际网络（CASIN） 合作，迎来两位来自韩国延世大学的研究学者：Seoyoung Choi博士 和 Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa博士。在本次导览中，Seoyoung Choi博士的研究专长涵盖了国际关系、移民、翻译以及殖民遗忘等领域的去殖民与女权主义方法；而Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa博士则提出了“知识黑人性（epistemic Blackness）”作为一种方法论的理念，她目前的研究旨在探索去殖民学术如何才能摆脱看似强制性的欧洲中心主义。两位学者在导览中重新界定困扰东亚和非洲的帝国历史，以及西方和其他地区作为一种种族结构范畴的黑人性的产生与我们如何理解。Seoyoung Choi博士和Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa博士的导览开启了意想不到的视窗，帮助观众欣赏留在中国的黑人女性主义革命思想，以及它对整个地区产生的历史性影响。
Rockbund Art Museum is pleased to announce six specialist guided tours for The Great Camouflage. Bringing together academics, researchers, and cultural workers from Shanghai and internationally, these specialists will give tours that will expand upon the exhibition's key themes of Blackness, feminism, revolutionary history, and the intercultural exchange between the Black Radical Tradition and China, as well as open up new ways of engaging with and understanding the works on view. Somewhere between a lecture and a walkthrough, these specialist tours provide a dynamic discursive energy that punctuates, intensifies, and refines the intellectual rhythms of the exhibition.
For the first of these tours, Rockbund Art Museum is thrilled to announce the visit of a pair of researchers, Dr Seoyoung Choi and Dr Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa from Yonsei University, South Korea, in collaboration with the China-Africa Shanghai International Network (CASIN). In this tour, Choi's specialism spanning decolonial and feminist approaches to international relations, migration, translation, and colonial amnesia sits alongside Rutazibwa's, who has developed the idea of epistemic Blackness as methodology, and whose ongoing research explores the ways in which decolonial scholarship can untangle itself from a seemingly mandatory Eurocentrism. Together, in a dialogue that reframes the imperial histories that beset East Asia and Africa, as well as the production and understanding of Blackness as a racial-structural category in the West and further afield, Choi and Rutazibwa's tour opened up unexpected apertures to appreciate the legacy of Black feminist revolutionary thought in China, and the historical ramifications it may have for the region writ large.
