Broken Pots, Broken Dreams: Working in Jingdezhen’s Porcelain Industry
The Freer Sackler Museum of Asian Art presents a screening about ceramists in Jingdezhen complements ideas about mass production presented in the exhibit, "Chinamania".
When:
October 1, 2016 2:00pm
In person: Maris Gillette, director
Anthropologist Maris Gillette’s documentary about ceramists in Jingdezhen complements ideas about mass production presented in Chinamania. China’s turn to a market-based economy has affected the personal and professional lives of ceramists in Jingdezhen, a global center of porcelain production for more than a thousand years.
Gillette gives a short talk before the screening. Afterward, Lee Glazer, curator of American art, joins her for a moderated Q&A session with the audience. (Dir.: Maris Gillette, United States, 2009, 27 min., DVD, Mandarin with English subtitles)
