Tuesday, November 19
7pm

Writer and researcher Aurelia Guo will share work in progress on a new project looking at immigration identification photographs and early street photographs of Chinese immigrants to California in the late nineteenth century. In her presentation, Guo will focus on what they reveal about the indeterminacy of race, borders, and photography as products of the Victorian age.

Aurelia Guo is a writer and researcher based in London. She is the author of World of Interiors (Divided Publishing, 2022). Currently, she is a Visiting Fellow at London South Bank University.
