City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s-1940s is a groundbreaking exhibition that examines the art history of Paris from Asian perspectives. The exhibition compares the experiences of Asian artists in Paris during a dynamic period of time, featuring works by Asian artists like Foujita Tsuguharu, Georgette Chen, Lê Phổ, Liu Kang, Pai Unsoung, Itakulla Kanae and Hamanaka Katsu.
During the 1920s-1940s, Paris was the centre of the sprawling French colonial empire. Paris offered an intense concentration of venues for artists around the world to exhibit their work.
Inevitably, the city became a site for both colonial propaganda and anti-colonial resistance.
How then did Asian artists in Paris present themselves to the world? Explore how these artists navigated public expectations and perceptions while asserting their identities as creative individuals and migrant artists from Asia.
