About the workshop
Before the Cubist collage made its splash in the early 20th century, a similar art form had emerged in China. Known as “Eight Brokenness,” bapo is making a comeback after a century of oblivion. The workshop presents three takes on the subject, with focus on a bapo fan at the Harvard Art Museums.
