Past Present Future Forum - Chinese Arts Practice, Society and Language

Join Goldsmiths Confucius Institute for Dance and Performance as they celebrate their decennial anniversary with an exciting two days of talks and lectures from eminent guest speakers from around the globe as they explore Chinese art, book culture, language acquisition, social sciences, film, dance, theatre and philosophy and an array of other disciplines relating to Chinese culture, language and society.

The forum will be welcoming experts from the British Museum, the British library and leading academics and researchers (from institutions, such as, University College London, Kings College London and the University of Oxford, among others) as they share their perspectives, experiences and research and reflect on the past, present and future of Chinese arts practice, Chinese language acquisition and the evolution of Chinese society as a whole.

The conference will provide the opportunity to meet and engage with a community of people interested in Chinese arts, language acquisition and society who hail from a variety of different disciplines and research backgrounds.

The conference is free and open to all.
