Living with Ink Symposium, 8 February 2020, Asian Civilisations Museum - Panel 1 (Part 2)

Held in conjunction with the exhibition Living with Ink: The Collection of Dr Tan Tsze Chor 水•墨•情— 又逢香雪庄 (8 Nov 2019–22 Mar 2020), this symposium brought together art historians and curators to examine the development and appreciation of Chinese art in networks of overseas Chinese artists and collectors in the late 19th and early 20th century. Panels explored how visual art can be understood as expressions of identity by overseas Chinese communities in this period, as well as the early collecting of Chinese art and the later consolidation of these collections into museums and other national institutions.
