Together in the light of this one lamp

Oh what an evening is this evening now,
Together in the light of this one lamp?​

An Evening With The Shenyang Visual Archive
Monday, July 15th, 2019 - 7:00 P.M.
Tickets $8 General, $5 VPES Members/Students/Seniors

Next Monday, Hexi and Charles Gravelle of the Shenyang Visual Archive will give a talk and present Li Xianglan in Mukden, a documentary film bringing scenes from our new Shengjing Panorama to life. The Shenyang Visual Archive traverses Shenyang in search of clues to reconstruct what the city looked like nearly 100 years ago, centerred around the real life story of Shenyang resident and mysterious luminary Li Xianglan.

---A Message From The Shenyang Visual Archive---

Li Xianglan was a legendary figure in China through the 1930s and 40s. Her inspiring rise to fame began with her youth in the colorful city of Mukden; a city rich in many legendary figures to inspire her including mighty warlords, gifted musicians, and famed Japanese directors, not to mention the city's own vibrant atmosphere.

We look forward to meeting you all soon at the Velaslavasay Panorama so we can share the history of China, Shenyang, and Li Xianglan.

李香兰是中国三四十年代的一个传奇人物，她最富传奇性的成长经历都集中在奉天，因为那里汇聚了很多同样具有传奇色彩的人物与她发生了千丝万缕的联系，中国军阀、白俄音乐家、日本导演…还有一些充满传奇性的场景依然保存在城市之中。

这部纪录片是沈阳视觉文献馆的第一部长片，它充分体现了文献馆为城市留存记忆的宗旨，同时也展现出文献馆的三项主要工作内容：对老人口述的记录和整理，对历史建筑的挖掘和研究，对影像档案的利用和展示。

我们期待很快能在Velaslavasay Panorama见到你们大家，期待与大家分享中国历史，沈阳和李香兰的故事。
