China East/West Exhibition
Tue, 02 Feb 2016 14:13:00 GMT
Everyone is invited to the launch of the China East/West: The Alternative Face of Globalization in Urban and Rural Transformations exhibition at Huddersfield Art Gallery on Thursday 4 February at 6.00pm to 8.00pm, with a talk at 6.30pm by Dr Ioanni Delsante, Dr Yun Gao and Professor Nick Temple. ROTOR food and refreshments will be served from 6.00pm.
The exhibition explores architecture and urbanism in contemporary China. It looks at regional differences through contrasting development strategies and cultural practices, in particular in between the eastern part of China and the western regions of the country. Two case studies have been selected in the Yangtze Delta region (Shanghai) and in the south-west region of Yunnan Province (Kunming).
In addition to providing a ‘window’ into the dramatic changes taking place in Chinese urban and rural life, the exhibition also aims to engage discussion and public interest in present and future transformations of West Yorkshire and its position in the recent 'Northern Powerhouse' debate.
All welcome.
