CCWM Conversations: Sentient Paper with Dr Shuxia Chen
Saturday 4 February from 2pm to 3pm
Dr Shuxia Chen, curator of China Gallery at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, is always fascinated by the communicative power of paper.
In this free floor talk, Shuxia will discuss how this ubiquitous material inspired her to curate the exhibition Sentient Paper.
By walking through the exhibition, Shuxia will explore how paper affects knowledge production, ideology formation and artistic practice.
