"Global goes Local: Visualizing Regional Cultures in the Arts of
Greater China" International Conference

This international and interdisciplinary conference aims to create
dialogue among specialists and practitioners from the fields of Fine
Art, Art History, Museum Studies, Visual Culture, Cultural Studies and
other relevant disciplines, examining the role and significance of
local art and cultures in balancing the impact of globalization.
Focusing on the cultural ties between mainland China, Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Macao, the conference seeks to explore the representation of
national and cultural identities in the creative arts produced in all
of these regions. It is also designed to encourage discussion about
the preservation and deployment of local art and heritage in cultural
policy, art education and museum practice.

Scholars, art administrators, artists and research students are
invited to submit proposals for pre-formed panels or individual
papers. Proposals in Word format, including a 300-word paper abstract
and a two-page CV, should be submitted to Dr Michelle Huang at
