The world’s largest hydroelectric dam takes center stage in a new exhibt at The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. The exhibit features work by four contemporary Chinese artists who are responding to the Three Gorges Dam project on China’s Yangtze river and the millions of people who had to be relocated because of it. Nasher Director Kimerly Rorschach and Ralph Litzinger, professor of cultural anthropology at Duke, join host Frank Stasio for a conversation about the history, controversy and consequences of the Three Gorges Dam project.
