Pok Chi Lau, Kansas University professor of photography in the new academic program PhotoMedia, is currently exhibiting his works in a show titled “Flow, China.” This international exhibition represents Lau’s portfolio of work over the past 40 years and is accompanied by the publication of a book of the same name.

The opening show took place Jan. 12 in Guangzhou, China, a city of 10 million people. The exhibit will continue through Feb. 12.

Lau’s research topics use social documentary photography to approach issues such as migration of Asians to the Americas, multiculturalism, diversity and ethnic identity. His work focuses on most Chinatowns in North America, the Imperial Valley of California and Tijuana, Mexico. The body of work has evolved into a project about mixed-race children, resulting in a trilingual photography book called “Dreams of the Golden Mountain.”

Lau received a Hall Center for Creative Work Fellowship to make a body of conclusive photographs on contemporary China in 2003.
