Set the Record Straight Co-Sponsored a Remarkable Symposium
at University of California, Berkeley

“REDISCOVERING CHINA’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION: Art and Politics, Lived Experience, Legacies of Liberation”

This symposium, the second of its kind (the first was held in New York in 2008), was a powerful and moving rebuke to the dominant and distorted narrative of the Cultural Revolution as “mass persecution and madness,” and opened up new space for contesting this narrative and reaching broader audiences. Set the Record Straight contributed to the report on the symposium in Revolution newspaper, here.
