The keynote speaker will be the international authority on classical and contemporary Chinese art Wu Hung. Other participants include Julia Andrews, Hou Hanru, Wendy Larson, William Schaefer, Kuiyi Shen, Jerome Silbergeld, Pauline J. Yao, Deng Kunyan, B%eacuter%eacutenice Reynaud, and Zheng Shengtian.
Organized by Department of History of Art, Institute of East Asian Studies, Center for Chinese Studies, Division of the Arts and the Humanities, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, and the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
Keynote speaker: Wu Hung
