Detail: In 1968, China was in a brief “mango-fever.” After receiving a gift of mangoes from the Pakistani foreign minister, Mao Zedong sent the fruit to the “Worker-Peasant Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Teams.” Mangoes, then unfamiliar in China, became a temporary symbol of Chairman Mao’s benevolence and love for the people. This exhibition of mango-related objects explores the interaction of material culture and politics during this period. |
