Chinese Christian Posters: The First Social Media Revolution
July 23, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
- This event has passed.
In the first half of the 20th century, Chinese Christians produced posters cheaply and on a massive scale, allowing them to cover the nation with potent images. Their posters provided visual commentary on recent events, and their pictures and slogans tried to move public opinion. What did these early Christian “influencers” have to say, and what might their experience reveal about the possibilities and perils of the adoption of social media by contemporary Christians?
Featured Speakers: Dr. Daryl Ireland and Dr. Nicholas Wolterstorff
