Self/Soul Project [2006]

The Self/Soul Project is a joint project between the art students of Zhaoqing University 广东省肇庆学院, China and the University of Louisville, USA. For more than two weeks, freshman students from the two universities have worked simultaneously on this digital self-portrait project exploring the issues of self and soul. Twenty students from Louisville and thirty students from Zhaoqing have produced work from this exercise.



These 50 pieces of work are now being exhibited in the Rouge Noir Gallery, the downtown student gallery of Allen R. Hite Art Institute.



A concurrent exhibition is held at the art gallery of Zhaoqing University, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, China during the month of December.


This collaborative project has been supervised by faculty members Tom R. Chambers at Zhaoqing University and Ying Kit Chan at the Allen. R. Hite Institute of the University of Louisville.
