PROGRAMME

11.30 a.m.–12.45 p.m. | Badiucao

Badiucao, a Chinese exile artist and activist who has made a name for himself on the international scene mainly through social media, posters, and political cartoons, will present his work in person. In 2021 he mounted the successful exhibition MADe IN CHINA at DOX, and more recently, in collaboration with journalist Melissa Chan, he published the dystopian graphic novel You Must Take Part in Revolution. The story, set in 2035, is about courage and moral dilemmas in a politically tense time. The book has already received considerable acclaim and has been compared to graphic novels such as MAUS and Persepolis.
