| Title: | Conny Zhao: A Place to Land | | Date: | 2/5/2021 - 2/26/2021 | | Address: | Emporium Center / Arts & Culture Alliance, 100 S Gay St, Knoxville, TN 37902 | | Location: | Knoxville, TN | | Hours: | 9:00am - 5:00pm | | Cost/Cover: | free | | Web Page: | https://www.knoxalliance.com/conny-zhao-a-place-to-land/ | | Contact Info: | 865-523-7543 |
| Details: | A Place to Land focuses on the relationships between indigenous peoples of China, Palestine, and Mongolia and their historic and cultural ties to land. I explore how marginalized groups, such as Southern or Inner Mongols, Kam (Dong), Buryats, Tibetans, and Palestinians can navigate and negotiate their identities through the passing down of cultural artifacts to younger generations, mundane daily rituals, and active acts of resistance. My series of photographs from 2018-2019 specifically concentrates on each group’s historical connection to land and the types of landscapes they inhabit, looking at how these various landscapes can impact and shape ethnic identity. I also examine what oppressive government policies, urbanization, or environmental damage might mean for the future of these groups.
