The films of Yang Fudong, currently featured at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and the photographs of Tong Lam, currently on view at the Institute of East Asian Studies, both explore realities of today’s China. Adjunct Senior Curator Philippe Pirotte, who organized the Yang exhibition, and Geographer Max Woodworth, who has studied populations under stress from China’s rapid change, will discuss problems related to China’s urban and social change, and how these issues are explored in the arts.
