“《策展革命》一书可以为人们打开一个大大的窗口…我们周围世界被刻意摆置和构造的环境,实际上都是宣传的重要组成部分…书中的许多个体与政治宣传所产生的碰撞后果,在半个世纪后的今天依然可见。” [“Curating Revolution opens up a window for us…In the world around us, our environment is one that has been arranged and constructed; indeed it is all part of propaganda. The book’s case studies and that which they engendered in political propaganda, are still to be seen today, half a century later.” ]

“Throughout the book, Ho leads readers into the archives of propaganda exhibits…and comes out with not only easily digestible narratives, but also the key methods and characteristics of Chinese propaganda…The stories in Curating Revolution tell a human tale to which many Chinese can still relate today, and Ho’s biggest achievement is tracing the human side of propaganda without getting lost in its inhumane totalitarian mechanism.”
