Shanghai explores China’s most cosmopolitan city through painting, poster art, fashion, film, and contemporary art and video installations. View the influence of technology and globalization on the city of Shanghai during the first half of the twentieth century. Using artworks from this exhibition, teachers can inspire students to explore their own cultural identity and ways they hold onto tradition while embracing change. Dr. Michael Knight, the museum’s curator of Chinese art, will present the story of the special exhibition Shanghai, illuminating the historic relationship between the city of Shanghai and San Francisco. Shanghai-born artist Ming Ren will discuss his experience as an artist trained in the socialist-realist style during the Cultural Revolution—and how this training, along with traditional influences, informs his contemporary work. This workshop includes a lecture, a docent-led tour, and a brushpainting workshop. For further explorations register for the related KQED Educator Workshop above.
