The Nomadic Artist in the Chinese Diasporas

Art History and Archaeology | College of Arts and Humanities Thursday, April 18, 2024 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm virtual

Recent interdisciplinary scholarship has increasingly demonstrated the need to highlight the social heterogeneity of multiple Chinese diasporas instead of a singular Chinese diaspora. Established and emerging scholars from Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the United States will discuss the artworks of Xiao Lu, Song Ling, Li Yuan-Chia, Richard Show-Yu Lin, Kim Lim, Cai Guo-Qiang, Hong Xian, Huang Yao, Hung Liu, Tehching Hsieh and others. The presentations are intended to contribute to an examination of such critical but contested concepts as migration and transmigration, displacement, exile, homeland, mobility, transnationalism, nationality, coloniality, citizenship, and cosmopolitanism in cultural and art historical studies.

Co-organized by Department of Art History and Archaeology, University of Maryland and The Judith Neilson Chair of Contemporary Art, University of New South Wales, Sydney

Co-sponsored by Center for East Asian Studies & Center for Global Migration Studies, University of Maryland and The Endowment of the Judith Neilson Chair of Contemporary Art, University of New South Wales, Sydney
