Das ZHdK-China Dilemma
A partnership between the Zurich school of arts and China, a complaint to the principal by the Chinese embassy, painted-over slogans, white walls and Chinese narks at a film premiere…
Two worried ZHdK students look into why and how a partnership with the Chinese state is problematic.
Description
This was a project a friend and I made on the side. In it, we looked into the genuinely concerning topic of cooperating with a system that does not have the same values as our own. Our aim was to inform our fellow students about the upcoming contract between our own school and the Chinese Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT). We highlighted the schools connections to the Chinese military, interviewed an expert in that field and as well as our principal. We hoped to present the listener with a nuanced and unbiased podcast about this topic.
