A delegation of outstanding American cultural figures traveled to Beijing to take part in four days of unprecedented cultural exchange. The US-China Forum on the Arts and Culture organized performances, master classes and roundtables that showcased the best of American culture, while forging new opportunities for American artists to collaborate and converse with their Chinese peers, in fields including visual and performing arts, literature, and cuisine.
Outcomes:
The program included six panel discussions pairing American and Chinese artists together for lively conversations, a screening and discussion of Joel and Ethan Coen’s True Grit, a special pre-release viewing of Meryl Streep’s film on Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady, and a concert in which Yo-Yo Ma and Chinese musicians journeyed through classical, traditional and modern music.
