The passion for opera throughout China from tenth century to present day is clear from the rich material objects produced for the stage performance and for off stage everyday consumption. Based on the collections from the museums in the mid-west, students will learn research methods related to the visual and material history of Chinese opera and ideation techniques to develop concepts for this curatorial project. This course will provide the conceptual and technical tools necessary to transform these curatorial ideas into an exhibition design within a physical space.
