In association with the exhibitionYang Fudong: No Snow on the Broken Bridge, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation presents Culture + Ideas Margaret Throsby in Conversation with Professor Geremie R Barmé, Director, Australian Centre on China in the World.


No Snow on the Broken Bridgeis a multi-screen film by Chinese auteur Yang Fudong. It documents the lives of those young intellectuals growing up in a country whose modernisation has developed at a pace and scale not seen since the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Against the backdrop of Yang's extraordinary work, the founding director of the Australian Centre on China in the World, Geremie R Barmé, talks with the noted ABC journalist Margaret Throsby about contemporary Chinese culture and thought, and more broadly as it is relevant to those interested in China, and the broader Chinese world.


The Culture + Ideas program is organised by Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation.
