This program explores topics in modern Chinese history through examining China’s changing visual culture from the late 19th century to the present.

Students will attend weekly field trips across Beijing and beyond, to explore visual cultures associated with imperial gardens, Old Beijing neighborhoods and opera houses, Communist monuments, and new indie art spaces. No Chinese language background required.
