Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator, joins Jianqing Chen, and Jiayi Chen, assistant professors in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures in Arts & Sciences, for a conversation on select artworks in the exhibition Looking Back Toward the Future: Contemporary Photography from China. Throughout the conversation, Eckmann, Chen, and Chen will share insights from their unique disciplines and research to contextualize how artists employed avant-garde techniques and concepts to speak to their own experiences and the broader sociopolitical, economic, and cultural shifts in China between 1993 and 2006.
