Dr Olivier Krischer charts a journey through late-Qing visual culture, exploring developments in painting and printing, but also the introduction of photography, film and modern publishing - visual technologies typically associated with "modern" China, but which all emerged before the end of the Qing dynasty.

In association with the Australian Centre on China in the World.

Dr Krischer is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) at the Australian National University. Previously, he has been managing editor of ArtAsiaPacific magazine in Hong Kong, and has taught art history and theory at the University of Sydney and the University of Tsukuba, Japan. He is co-editor of Asia Through Art and Anthropology: Cultural Translation Across Borders; manages the CIW gallery; is co-programmer of the ongoing CIW film series 'Asia & the Pacific Screens'; and is a member of the advisory committee for 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney. His recent work has been concerned with transnational networks of artistic social activism in East Asia, and his current research focus is on art as a facet of Japan-China relations in the 1980s and 1990s.
