Seven contemporary Chinese photographers, most of whose work has never before been seen outside of China, are the focus of the dialog between critic and author, A. D. Coleman and ATOA board chairman, Doug Sheer. There will be a screening of selections from these photographers' projects: Chen Yuangzhong, Hua Er, Jia Yu Chuan, Li Nan, Yang Yan Kang, Yu Haibo, and Zhang Xinmin. They are mostly from south China, many of them based in the city of Shenzhen. Coleman encountered their work and met a number of them personally during two trips to China over the past six months. The subject matter of their projects includes the transvestite demimonde, rural Catholicism, matrilineal culture, prostitution, and the urban nightclub and music scene.
