In this masterclass, we will pay attention and analyze how genders are expressed in advertisements presented in public spheres, especially in transportation infrastructures through which tens of millions move every day. We currently live in a world where the Olympic games, a celebration of physical strength and athletic beauty, are heavily promoted by mainstream media, while all of us feel confused and vulnerable to COVID. In these extraordinary times, it is worth critically deconstructing the words and images in advertisements to understand how narratives are formed and perceived.
Observing advertisements
Analyzing ingredients such as words, photographs and illustrations Comparing advertisements of the same genre in terms of geography, era, culture and language
Verbalizing impressions from advertisements and conveying them to others
Reflect on your perspective and sensibility
Through online lectures and in-person discussion, this masterclass is designed to understand the roles and impacts of words and images in advertisements and how they can function given the creator's will. On the second day, this year’s exhibiting artist Yingfei Liang will join the conversation online. She will talk about her exhibition, discuss advertisements in China and the environment for working female journalists. This masterclass is aimed at photographers, photography critics and editors.
