This lecture will focus on "China" and "diaspora" as the core, exploring the multiple dimensions of overseas Chinese art in the 20th - 21st centuries. Under the profound influence of globalization, a single cultural identity has been redefined. "China" is regarded as an open methodology rather than a fixed ethnic label. The lecture will start from history, review the evolutionary context of overseas Chinese art, and focus on the latest artistic practices, analyzing how the diaspora experience has become an aesthetic strategy for artistic creation and a source of cultural imagination. Through the analysis of artists' works, it will explore new possibilities of cultural mobility, identity reconstruction, and creativity in the context of globalization.
