Professor Desy Schoenewies will speak about the experiences of taking 8 students to Baoding University, our partner university in China for over three weeks of collaborative art-making. At Baoding, BHSU students exhibited paintings from their traditional Chinese painting classes as well as immersed themselves into many Chinese cultural experiences such as martial arts, traditional paper cutting, porcelain design, language courses, and more. A comic book created by BHSU student artists based on their experiences abroad was created during this experience. This geek speak will debut the comic book as well as retell the stories from the students who participated, offering their perspectives on what it was like to live and learn at a Chinese university.
