The exhibition will display a collection of striking posters which document a visual history of Chinese communism in the years sine the 1949 establishment of the People’s Republic. This is the first time these works have been exhibited in the UK The poster style is varied as they move through a timeline, some full of red ink and young Chinese holding up copies of Mao’s Little Red Book and many depicting soldiers in the fight with cartoonish capitalist monsters.
But upon closer inspection it becomes clear how much artistry went into their production, and how they changed over the years reflecting the changes in China’s cultural and political climate.

Ntemporary Chinese Visual Culture: Tradition, Modernity, and Globalization - Christopher Crouch. China fashion: conversations with designers - Christine Tsui. This book documents the rise (and rise) of fashion design in China. Told through the stories of three generations of designers: those born in the 20s and 30s, who were active before the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949; those born in the 1950s and 60s, when fashion in China was isolated from the rest of the world and the wearing of “Mao suits” became obligatory; and those born in the 1970s and later, who are now attempting to integrate China in to the global fashion industry, not only as producers of clothing but as designers and marketers as well.
Chinese fashion in the past half-century is a fascinating case study, given that the country began in penury, isolation, and political correctness, went through a phase of militant anti-fashion ideology, and is now rapidly developing internationally-minded, and eager to challenge the world in all fields of endeavour.

Born red: a chronicle of the Cultural Revolution - Yuan Gao. Changing clothes in China: fashion, history, nation - Antonia Finnane. Based largely on nineteenth and twentieth-century representations of Chinese dress as traditional and unchanging, historians have long regarded fashion as something peculiarly Western.
But in this surprising, sumptuously illustrated book, Antonia Finnane proves that vibrant fashions were a vital part of Chinese life in the late imperial era, when well-to-do men and women showed a keen awareness of what was up-to-date. Though foreigners who traveled to China in the early decades of the twentieth century came away with the impression that Chinese dress was simple and monotone, the key features of modern fashion were beginning to emerge, especially in Shanghai. Men in blue gowns donned felt caps and leather shoes, girls began to wear fitted jackets and narrow pants, and homespun garments gave way to machine-woven cloth, often made in foreign lands.

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was a mass movement launched in 1966, to remould society and reactivate Communist ideals. Ultimately however, it was little more than a power struggle between Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Communist Party and his political rivals.
For many it signified a loss of tradition, and a loss of their career, hope and trust. Many people lost their lives. Traditional dress was categorised as one of the Four Olds: old ideas old culture old customs old habits. Western suits, ties and dresses were confiscated and many owners were denounced and physically abused for their so-called bourgeois past. During the Cultural Revolution many civilians wore khaki military clothing to demonstrate their revolutionary allegiance. Many wore patched garments, some through necessity and others through political fervour. Red Guards Red Guards were young revolutionary activists - a powerful and destructive political force during the Cultural Revolution.

Excerpt Related Books Related Essays. Dushanbe Scrapbook. Kim Jong-il is dead. Here's his monster movie. As bad as it was under Japanese rule I imagine it was much worse under Kim. Maybe under his father Il Sung during the war... but the majority of Kim Il Jong's problems were cumulative. Such as food shortages, starvation of free information etc. When the Japanese were there, there were public mutilations of the locals - they fitted in to part of their world-view at the time that the Chinese and Koreans were 'lesser' races Which is stupid considering Japanese are most likely descended from Koreans who went to the island for whatever reason.
I think a lot of the East Asian races would like to feel that their race is unique in the sense that they don't share similar genetics with each other. Chinese and North Korean Posters.
