You Must Take Part in Revolution

This Saturday, March 8 at 2:00 p.m., join us at the Wende Museum for a vital conversation on art, activism, and resistance.

Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and exiled Chinese artist Badiucao will discuss their gripping graphic novel You Must Take Part in Revolution, set in a world where a proto-fascist United States and a techno-authoritarian China are at war. The story explores the fight for freedom in an age of surveillance and oppression.

Badiucao, a recipient of the Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent, previously worked with Ai Weiwei in Berlin. Chan’s reporting has taken her to Pyongyang, Moscow, Havana, and beyond. In conversation with Wende Museum Chief Curator Joes Segal, they will discuss their creative process, the real-world experiences that shaped their work, and the role of art and journalism in resistance movements.

A reception in the garden will follow. Don't miss this extraordinary discussion.
