Chinese propaganda posters are witnesses to the swings of politics and history, catalysts for other forms of Chinese art, and reflections of the hopes, dreams and fears churning in Chinese society.  Yang Peiming, the curator and founder of the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Center, has collected over 5000 posters made between 1949 and 1979. RASBJ brings curator Yang to Beijing to display remarkable works from his collection, and to explain how Chairman Mao and his team shaped the art and minds of China for 30 years.
