FDN Talks Lecture

Join us for a zoom lecture with Photographer and Pop-up Paper Engineer Artist, Colette Fu as she discusses her ongoing series of photo-based pop-up books about the ethnic minority groups of China. A self-taught paper engineer, she will discuss her process, how she ended up specializing in such a unique art form, and all that inspired her along the way.
