Curator Tour: Sisters, Brothers and Others: Nationality and 20th-century Chinese Art
Tour with exhibition curator, Dr William Beswick. Gallery 11, Level 0.
Most citizens of the People’s Republic of China are Han, an ethnicity often translated as ‘Chinese.’ Officially, however, 56 different ‘brother and sister nationalities’ make up the country. The Sisters, Brothers, Others exhibition will showcase how both Han and non-Han artists in the People’s Republic of China have approached notions of ‘self’ and ‘other’ in their depictions of nationality and ethnicity. Through artworks and objects ranging from political propaganda posters to intimate self-portraits, this free modern art exhibition explores questions of identity and the relationship between artistic and political representation.
