Qing: China’s Multilingual Empire exhibition - online launch

15 Oct 2021

Join us as we celebrate the opening of the new exhibition

Qing: China’s Multilingual Empire will be at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library from 21 October 2021 to 13 March 2022. Exploring the languages and culture of China’s last dynasty, the exhibition features new research funded by The University of Manchester, with support from the Confucius Institute.

We’ll hear from exhibition curators Dr Johannes S Lotze (Postdoctoral Fellow in Medieval Chinese History, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Julianne Simpson (Collections and Discovery Manager, John Rylands Research Institute and Library). This will be followed by a live audience Q&A.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the foundation of the Confucius Institute at the University of Manchester. Over this period, the Institute has established itself as a resource for the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, the wider University and the local Manchester community. It has become an important asset with an excellent reputation for supporting access to Chinese language learning and Chinese culture in the North West.

The launch event on 20 October will take place on Zoom, the link will be sent to you on the day of the event. If you have any queries regarding the event please contact us on the following email address jrl.visitors@manchester.ac.uk.
