China and Revolution: History, Parody and Memory in Contemporary Art, will explore the relationship between the political poster art of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and its impact on contemporary Chinese art. Featuring original posters from the University of Westminster’s extensive collection and works from collaborating artists Liu Dahong, Shen Jiawei, Li Gongming and Xu Weixin, the exhibition emphasises connective possibilities between past revolutions and the present, and between history, memory and forgetting.
