Thirteen contemporary artists from China and the United States explore gender and sexual identity in a new exhibition at the Chinese Culture Center (CCC) September 15 – November 30, 2012. WOMEN 我們 (a Mandarin homophone meaning both ‘women’ and ‘we’) features video works, installation art, photography, sculpture, and more by a diverse array of female, male, and LGBTQ artists including Mu Xi, Yang Meiyan, He Chengyao, and other emerging artists based in China as well as five U.S.-based artists, among them Man Yee Lam and Stella Zhang. It will also include a display of fascinating designed materials created by a consortium of NGOs within China focusing on the LGBTQ community, women and sex workers that must operate through underground channels to avoid scrutiny. The exhibition, curated by CCC’s Deputy Director and Curator Abby Chen, made its debut in Shanghai in 2011 as the official exhibition of the Conference on Chinese Women and Visual Representation organized by the University of Michigan and the Journalism School of Fudan University.
