[Commlist] CCVA-CCC Symposium: From the Masses to the Masses: Visual Practices in China since the Cultural Revolution

The Centre for Contemporary Visual Arts Asia at Birmingham City 
University and the University of Westminster Contemporary China Centre 
are pleased to invite you to the one day symposium "From the Masses to 
the Masses: Visual Practices in China since the Cultural Revolution"

60 years ago in May, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was 
officially launched under the guiding principles issued by the Central 
Session of the Chinese Communist Party culminating, despite its top-down 
directive, in a bottom-up mass movement across the country. Two key 
events heralded the Cultural Revolution nationwide: the popularisation 
of the big-character poster (dazibao) and the emergence of the Red 
Guards. This symposium marks these two anniversaries by re-examining the 
role of ‘mass-art’ in the contemporary context.
Jointly organised by Westminster's Contemporary China Centre and 
Birmingham City University's Centre for Contemporary Visual Arts Asia, 
this one-day symposium brings together a group of international scholars 
and is open to the public.

Attendance is complimentary. To consult the conference programme and 
register for the event please use the following link:

The event will take place on Friday 29th May between 10.30am to 6.30pm 
at Fyvie Hall, 309 Regent Street, University of Westminster, W1B 2HW.
Please kindly note that only in-person registration can be accommodated.
