Liu Xiaoning was invited to participate in the 11th Oral History academic symposium, held at the Communication University of China in Beijing.

The event was hosted by Cui Yongyuan, a well-known Chinese television host and cultural commentator, and brought together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from various fields.

Centered on the theme of oral history, the symposium explored how personal memory, lived experience, and historical narratives can be preserved and interpreted in contemporary contexts. During the discussions, Liu Xiaoning shared reflections drawn from his own artistic practice, addressing how memory, time, and individual experience are translated into visual language through painting.

The exchange highlighted the intersection between artistic creation and historical inquiry, offering insights into how contemporary art can engage with broader cultural and historical conversations.
