Long Description

Strange Flowerstells the personal stories of nine writers and artists working between Australia and China, offering diverse perspectives on two creative cultures. It takes us into the cities and towns of modern China, into the Australian studios and homes of creative people, and sheds light on the daily acts of translation and transformation needed to bridge languages, cultures and generations. Explore the intensity of pre-Olympics Beijing by bike with Sydney artist Melody Willis; take to the streets of the 798 art district with Michael Yuen's cross-cultural Donkey Institute of Contemporary Art; or have a beer with editor Ivor Indyk and novelist Ah Jian in the intimate but difficult space between people who live in different languages. Alice Pung writes of the generation gap in modern China, and journeys back to her ancestral homeland in Jie Yang, while Benjamin Law goes in search of queer culture and the Chinese internet. James Stuart relives the Szechuan earthquake and its aftermath through the lens of literature; Li Yao speaks of the pleasures and challenges of a lifetime spent translating Australian books into Chinese; Zhao Chuan traces the Australian influence that runs through his writing, theatre-making and photography; and Ouyang Yu speaks of how, through cycles of influence that oscillate between China and the West, strange flowers bloom when creative seeds are planted in foreign soil.
