Introduction

‘I’m curious about the experience of life, and am willing to believe in human beings as vehicles of agency, when faced with a situation, internalize their experience to transform it.’

This ICAST Report will invite artist Peng Ke to share her creative experiences based on his personal experience and daily observations. At the same time, we are honoured to invite well-known art critic Liu Huatong to this lecture, to discuss Peng Ke’s photography practice. As a long term urban dweller, Peng Ke skillfully reveals the hidden privacy and complexity of China’s urban transformation, by capturing  harmonious moments and vivid daily life. Her sensibility is full of hope and tenderness, conjuring a sense of romance  with dextrous skill even onto the banality of contemporary urban life.
