ICP-Beijing: Behind the Scenes

Course Description

Explore Chinese culture through your photography. Join Sean Justice for a behind-the-scenes, upclose and personal tour of Beijing, an urban
powerhouse and city of many charms. Our host, the Three Shadows Photography Art Center, is a contemporary gallery and research institute devoted to photography as a fine art. We will visit
Beijing's art districts, galleries, and studios, enjoy the city's cafés, bookstores, and art-related events, and attend guest lectures by Chinese artists and curators. All the while, we will be using our picture-making skills to engage what we are learning and seeing. The trip includes must-see city highlights and cultural outings to the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Houhai Lake District, Olympic Village, and, of course, a stroll through the Forbidden City, the onceexclusive imperial residence and the heart of the empire for 500 years. We will walk through Tiananmen Square, built on the orders of Mao Zedong and perhaps the largest public plaza in the world. Our itinerary includes a day excursion to the 2,000-year-old Great Wall.
