Sue Anne Tay, photographer and author of the popular blog, ShanghaiStreetStories.com, takes her photography back to the original sites via the use of portable photo boards in her latest project, “The Roving Exhibit”. Travelling across older neighborhoods such as Hongkou and Dongjiadu, Sue Anne’s exhibit engages and elicits reactions from some of Shanghai’s long-standing residents.

In a casual and intimate setting, Sue Anne will discuss with twocities her inspirations for “The Roving Exhibit”. Join us for stories from exhibit patrons and their varying impressions of street photography, the pace of urbanization and the plight of their disappearing neighborhoods.

Sue Anne’s photography has been exhibited around Shanghai and published in The Atlantic, Foreign Policy and others. She is also a co-author of “Still More Shanghai Walks: Shanghailanders & Shanghainese – Where They Lived, Worked and Played” (Old China Hand Press, 2011). Most recently, she spoke at this year’s Shanghai and Suzhou Literary Festivals.
