In her first institutional solo exhibition, No dust left in the lilies, Louise Zhang skilfully weaves together her personal narrative and the historical backdrop of Chinese cultural history.
Zhang’s hometown of Wenzhou and the greater Zhejiang province are embroiled with government authorities over religious freedom, spurring wider conversations about the CCP’s official religious policy and shifting relationship with the western hemisphere. It is in this confluence of politics and faith that Louise Zhang has produced this work.
Through her art, she explores how changing CCP policies impact the diasporic identities of Chinese Christian families.
During this Artist Floor Talk, Louise Zhang and curator Con Gerakaris will guide attendees through an in-depth discussion of each artwork, providing valuable insights into their conceptual frameworks, artistic techniques, and underlying themes.
The setting will be relaxed and intimate, allowing for a meaningful exchange of ideas and a deeper appreciation of Zhang's artistic process.
