Zorana Baković: Sexuality and (self)censorship of artists in China

March 4, 2021, at 6 p.m.

The lecture will present ambivalence in the Chinese tradition and art related to sexuality, especially homosexuality. At the same time, it will address the issue of censorship and self-censorship among Chinese and foreign artists today.

She studied Chinese classical literature in Shanghai, was, among other things, a translator for the federal government, and most recently became a journalist. She is also the author of a collection of essays Flight over the Dragon’s Nest (Let nad zmajevim gnezdom). She lived in Beijing until 2011 and now lives between Vienna, Zagreb and Belgrade.
