One of the world’s most comprehensive collection and overview of photography from China is currently on display in a huge city-wide exhibition in Houston, Texas, as part of FotoFest 2008. This is a tremendously ambitious and successful presentation of the important roles that photography has played in the dramatic flux that has defined and re-defined China over the past 74 years.

This exhibition shows the continuing interest in Chinese photography and can be considered as an important contribution in understanding contemporary Chinese photography and the cultural differences between China and the West.
