上海外滩美术馆在展览“伟大的掩饰”展期内推出了一系列专家导览。这些导览汇聚了来自上海及国际的学者、研究人员和文化从业者，深入探讨展览的核心议题，包括黑人性、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，并为观众开辟理解展览作品的新路径。这些导览介于讲座与现场导览之间，为展览注入了动态的思辨能量，帮助观众看到展览的智性韵律。
第三期学者导览由上海外滩美术馆与上海中非关系研究网络（CASIN）合作策划，邀请学者施东来博士（Dr. Flair Donglai Shi）与刘紫丰博士（Dr. Zifeng Liu）共同呈现。施东来博士将把“伟大的掩饰”置于亚非交互的文化史语境中考察。他将聚焦中非交往的人文面向，探讨此类交流在后殖民和“全球南方”语境下的当代意义，并讲解文化在处理种族和性别议题中的关键作用。他的导览将鼓励观众反思西方中心主义世界观对亚非议题认知的影响，并探讨在此框架下公共文化空间与机构所扮演的角色。
刘紫丰博士将结合展览第一层与第五层的主题，分享20世纪中叶黑人女性国际主义者的激进革命实践。他将重点关注她们与中国——尤其是上海——知识分子及政治领袖的互动，并介绍这些女性如何促进了亚非团结。通过研析这些人物如何反思奴隶制与殖民主义遗存，以及如何对种族、阶级和性别概念进行解构与重构，他的导览将阐释这些革命思想链条如何助力人们构建一个更为公平正义的国际秩序。
此系列学者专场导览由拾壹基金会特别支持。
Rockbund Art Museum is pleased to announce a series of 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 third of these tours, Rockbund Art Museum will host the scholars Dr Flair Donglai Shiand Dr Zifeng Liu, programmed in collaboration with the China-Africa Shanghai International Network (CASIN). Here, Dr Shi will situate The Great Camouflage within the cultural history of Afro-Asian interactions. Focusing on the humanistic dimensions of China-Africa relations, he will frame the contemporary significance of such exchanges within postcolonial and Global South contexts, and discuss the critical role of culture in addressing issues of race and gender. His tour encourages participants to reflect on how Western-centric worldviews influence perceptions of Afro-Asian issues, and explores the role of public cultural spaces and institutions within this matrix.
Dr Liu will bridge the themes of the exhibition's first and fifth floors to share the radical, revolutionary practices of various mid-20th century Black female internationalists. Focusing on their interactions with Chinese intellectuals and political leaders—particularly in Shanghai—Dr Liu will examine how these women fostered Afro-Asian solidarities. Analyzing how these individuals reckoned with legacies of slavery and colonialism while deconstructing and reconstructing concepts of race, class, and gender, his tour will scaffold how a more equitable and just international order can be produced through these strands of revolutionary thought.
This series of specialist tours is made possible through the generous support of the Octone Foundation.
