?Owls are sometimes regarded as creatures of ill omen in Chinese culture. In 1973, a painting of a winking owl landed artist Huang Yongyu in trouble. Interpreted as a comment on Chairman Mao’s declining health, he was charged with blaspheming the socialist state. Eventually cleared, Huang protested by painting these two owls. The inscription mentions the artist ‘had no intention of making oblique comments through the depictions [of owls]’. Our new special exhibition ponders protest, uncovers unrest and delves into dissent through 100(ish) specially selected objects. #IObject is now open – find out more and book tickets via the link in our bio.
