How do images shape power? This event dives into the visual strategies that influence foreign policy and global perceptions, with a particular focus on China.

By examining visualities as both a theoretical lens and a methodological tool, the discussion will explore how visualities inform social and political research. Hosting a discussion from leading experts, the event uncovers whose realities are constructed and conveyed to the world—and how these narratives reshape global politics.
