The public symposium ‘M+ Matters: Cantonese Art and Plural Modernities’ will shed new light on Guangdong’s distinctive contributions to Chinese artistic modernism and its place within the current discourses of regional and multiple modernities. Leading experts from universities and museums in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen will consider such topics as the varieties of realism in twentieth-century Guangdong painting; the social circulation of images, especially pictorials, woodblock prints, and cartoons; and the propagation of the Lingnan School in Hong Kong and the Cantonese diaspora.
The symposium will be conducted in Cantonese and Mandarin, with simultaneous interpretation available in English. Registration is free and open to all. To register for or to learn more about the symposium, please visit the M+ website.

Past topics in the series include postwar design and industry in Asia, contemporary ink art, China’s museum boom, and global museums’ collection and display strategies.
