REDISCOVERING CHINA’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION: Art and Politics, Lived Experience, Legacies of Liberation A three-day symposium, November 6-8, 2009, UC Berkeley FEW EVENTS IN MODERN HISTORY are more deserving of rediscovery than China’s Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. Few have so challenged traditional notions of what human society can be. Few have been as distorted and demonized. Want to know what revolutionary socialism was really like? From people who lived it… and loved it? Hear from youth who went to the countryside to work and learn from the peasants... artists who set out to create revolutionary art... women who struggled against feudal tradition.... people who look back at this period as some of the best years of their lives. And learn from scholars whose work brings to life a crucial and vital legacy of liberation. 1:00 pm Art and Politics in the Cultural Revolution Bai Di, Ban Wang, Ann Tompkins, Lincoln Cushing 4:00 pm The International Impact and Historical Significance of the Cultural Revolution Dongping Han, Raymond Lotta, Robert Weil 7:30 pm Benefit Banquet with speakers Call Revolution Books for information
