Join us for Dear Yong An, an exhibition showcasing the photographs from Cici Cheng’s pilot research project, ‘Art and Research: Photographing Communities Across the World‘, which has been funded by the Center for the Study of Contemporary China.

Through her photographs and interviews, Cici creates a visual storytelling experience that focuses on family history, intimacy, memory, and ethnography, and invites viewers to take a journey through her lens, experiencing the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and the intergenerational relationships that lie at its heart.

Bio: Cici Cheng is a Chinese-born U.S. artist and photographer who grew up in Durham, North Carolina. She received an MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University and currently teaches Media and Arts at Duke Kunshan University. Her work utilizes personal and observational methods to tell stories that center around intergenerational relationships within the family, the connection between place and identity, and the process of cultural assimilation.
