Seeing China: Community Reflections
14 May - 17 July & 6 - 21 August 2008
This exhibition explores the Society's historic collection of maps and photographs of China from 1850 onwards through the personal reminiscences and collective reflections of four London based Chinese community groups. Adults, young people and children with differing backgrounds and interests explored the collection to reveal their diverse histories and experiences. The legacies of several centuries of contact between Britain and China provide a backdrop for contemporary issues such as global migration and identity, alongside an examination of complex shared, and often unequal histories, of these two countries.
