Asian American artist Zhen Guo is the artistic leader of the U-M initiative, "Dancing with the Dragon," centered around building and reinventing a full-body dragon as seen in traditional Asian dragon dances. Guo bridges traditional crafts with modern artistic interpretations, and in this talk, will present her journey and experiences that led to her own identity as a feminist and a transnational/transcultural artist.
