BLIND VISITS CHINA
Chris Do, Founder/Executive Creative Director, has just returned to BLIND after an eleven day, whirlwind tour of China. Chris was invited by several universities to lecture on the importance of design. He spoke at two campuses of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in Guangzhou, the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in Dalian. Chris’ lectures were extremely well received with as many as nine-hundred students attending.
Tobin Kirk, Executive Producer at BLIND, tagged along to make sure things ran smoothly and to be Chris’ hype man at the lectures and pose for pictures afterwards. He was also successful in navigating the treacherous roads of Guangzhou during their bike ride around the city.
Diana Liu traveled with the pair to translate and make sure they didn’t eat anything too exotic. The trip would have not been possible without her.
Here are a couple of articles written about the visit:
