Exhibition (de)Tour: The Life of Memory: Xiaolu Guo on her writing and filmmaking

In Trinh T. Minh-ha’s newest work What About China? (Part I of II, 2020–2021), Xiaolu Guo reads from her memoir Nine Continents: A Memoir In and Out of China (2017) as a voice-over. Reflecting on her childhood, her early career in the Beijing art world, and her current life in Europe, aspects of which are chronicled in her films and novels as well as in her memoir, this (de)Tour focuses on the relationship between memories and art practice.

Guo’s presentation will be followed by a conversation between her, Ute Meta Bauer, Founding Director, NTU CCA Singapore and Professor, NTU School of Art, Design and Media, and Dr Sim Wai Chew, Associate Professor, NTU School of Humanities.
