Grade 5 classes admired a new exhibit of
female Terra-cotta Warrior statues at the 798 Space at the
heart of the Dashanzi Art District this week. In this exhibit,
the Norwegian artist Marian Heyerdahl has recontextualized
the Terra-cotta Warriors by duplicating female versions of
their originally sized male counterparts. The students, many
of whom have traveled to Xi’an to see the ancient warriors, enjoyed
the exhibit, finding it humorous, powerful and a good conversation
piece, especially around International Woman’s Day.
