Dancing with the Dragon | Dancing with the Dragon Exhibit at the RC Art Gallery
This week at the RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE ART GALLERY, visit a special viewing of the dragon head for the traditional "dragon dance" reimagined by artist-in-residence Zhen Guo along with initial concept drawings and dragon calligraphy.
Guo's imagery and sculptural form lead the viewer on a mythical journey--an open ended invitation to explore the dragon as a traditional symbol of harmony and strength that has been newly refashioned as a feminine serpent, at once powerful, magnificent and slightly sci-fi.
Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at cstep@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
