Led by Julie Chun (Adjunct Professor of Art History), we will turn our attention to the frequently asked question “What makes Chinese art modern?” Through a systematic study that examines the social and political context following the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), we will look back in time to a pivotal juncture in China’s history when art took a major shift at the most unexpected place in Shanghai. Come join us for an afternoon seeped in art history, history, and culture.
