Red Detachment Dancer FEW EVENTS IN MODERN HISTORY have been as distorted and demonized as China's Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. Yet few events are more deserving of rediscovery.
This unique symposium, REDISCOVERING CHINA'S CULTURAL REVOLUTION, offers an opportunity to rediscover--or discover for the first time--what this "revolution within a revolution" in socialist China was really all about.
There are people who participated in the Cultural Revolution who offer a vivid and exciting counter-narrative. There are youth who went to the countryside to work and learn from the peasants, artists who set out to create revolutionary art, women who struggled against feudal tradition--who look back at this period as some of the best years of their lives. Here is a chance to hear these stories which bring to life important truths about the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
There is work being done in academia uncovering important chapters in the Cultural Revolution that have either been ignored or discounted: its immense international impact and influence; contributions in the arts, sciences and education during the Cultural Revolution; and theoretical questions of economics, philosophy and politics that remain relevant. Here is a chance to hear from people with different perspectives and experiences who are doing work around these questions.
The weekend includes a Friday night book release event; two major panels on Saturday; a symposium-guided tour of the exhibition of artwork from the Cultural Revolution at the Asia Society on Sunday morning; and an afternoon cultural program with a theatrical reading, film clips, and discussion.
