In her work, Kansas-based Chinese artist Hong Chun Zhang reimagines the world around her as enveloped in hair. In conversation with The Wave, Harvard’s Asian literary and arts magazine, Zhang will explore how her identity, the environment, and the dual pandemics are woven into her recent work.

Led by:
Hong Chun Zhang, artist
Jerrica Li ’22, founder, The Wave magazine, Harvard University
Sarah Laursen, Alan J. Dworsky Associate Curator of Chinese Art, Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art, Harvard Art Museums
