research questions/key themes: As independent publishing rises in the recent ten years, art book fairs occure around the earth. Many art book fairs also emerge in China, where a heavy censorship lives in every aspects of people’s life. For my thesis research, I want to study printed matter’s role in modern censorship by diving into the independent publishing enviornment in China.
