Event Details:

In accompaniment to the exhibition Fire Within: A New Generation of Chinese Women Artists, the Broad Museum will host a conversation featuring curator Dr. Wang Chunchen and select artists from the exhibition. Dr. Jennifer Dorothy Lee, Assistant Professor of East Asian Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago will moderate. Exploring the shifting sense of identity and agency around the role of women in Chinese society, the discussion will unpack the exhibition's driving impetus and major themes. Punctuated by insights from the artists—who will discuss their work and personal experiences as women artists—audience members will be offered the opportunity to delve deeper into these important issues and engage in fruitful intercultural exchange.
