China Stories

Date: 3 April - 18 April
Time: 9am-9pm Monday to Friday, 10am-5pm Saturday

This group photography exhibition explores modern China and seeks to uncover resonances between the China of today and that of its deep and ancient past. Through this collection China emerges as a complex country of many contrasts, a place of wild natural beauty and man-made environments, increasingly modern yet steeped in history and tradition and of a diverse and varied population with a multitude of customs and beliefs. These compelling images offer not just a visual picture of China but present China's stories suggesting a presentiment for its future.

International contributors include Harvey Benge (New Zealand), Ferit Kuyas (Switzerland), Elaine Ling (Canada) and Pok Chi Lau (USA).
