Explore Chinese fashion and identity three ways, with literary scholar Eleanor Lim-Midyett, artist Michelle Chan, and Nelson-Atkins Curator of Asian Art Ling-en Lu. Each presenter will share how their work intersects with ideas in the exhibition Glamorous Women: Gender and Fashion in Chinese Art, then engage in conversation. We invite you to create in community during the program: you are welcome to bring a small, portable textile-based project-in-progress (hand-stitching, knitting, crochet only). We’ll save time at the end to share, for those who are interested.
Generous support for this program is provided by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
Eleanor Lim-Midyett, Ph.D. teaches Modern Chinese History, Modern Chinese Literature, Traditional Chinese Literature, Asian American Studies, and Gender Studies at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Michelle Chan is an interdisciplinary artist based in Kansas City, Missouri. A 2019 graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute ,Chan’s work addresses being an American-born Chinese through the lens of pop culture and consumerism.
Ling-en Lu serves as Curator of Chinese art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and curated the exhibition Glamorous Women and edited the book, Women across Asian Art (2023).
