Marianne Brouwer is the author of this publication as well as the curator of two exhibitions by Witte de With and UCCA (Beijing) in 2014 about the legacy of van Dijk. She will be discussing the complex history of Chinese contemporary art together with Kitty Zijlmans, a renowned professor specializing in contemporary art history at Leiden University.
