Picturing China exhibition
Take a free tour of China at the Grant Bradley Gallery in Bedminster between 17 January and 21 February for the Picturing China 1870–1950 exhibition. Organised by The University Of Bristol , the exhibition showcases some 180 photographs of life in China before 1950.
The photos belonged to Chinese and British families (or their descendants) who lived in China between 1870 and 1950. Discovered in attics and old photo albums, the photographs include images of everyday Chinese life, the British expatriate social scene and momentous political events. Together they form a unique virtual archive of China, where wars and revolutions destroyed buildings, ways of life, photographs and other records.
