Dancing with the Dragon | Meet the Artist | Rewriting Power: Zhen Guo's Journey to Feminist Art

Zhen Guo, Artist in Residence, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies Recorded on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 Asian American artist Zhen Guo is the artistic leader of the U-M initiative, "Dancing with the Dragon," centered around building and reinventing a full-body dragon as seen in traditional Asian dragon dances. Guo bridges traditional crafts with modern artistic interpretations, and in this talk, will present her journey and experiences that led to her own identity as a feminist and a transnational/transcultural artist. This is part of the U-M "Dancing with the Dragon" program celebrating the artistry, tradition, and collective spirit embodied by the dragon in Asian tradition—an iconic symbol of inclusivity, strength, and courage. Students, faculty, and volunteers will be co-creating a striking full-body NEW dragon sculpture from recycled materials for use in the traditional "dragon dance." scheduled later in the season.
