Galleries


The Line 21 Project accommodates an online collection of contemporary Chinese propaganda images dating from 2005 to the present. What distinguishes this from other online collections is that its images are not of the propaganda object in isolation but rather of the object within its immediate physical context. To learn more about the collection, please visit the site's ABOUT page.
