What does it mean to build a new paradigm of exchange, as a belt and road bridge China to a new world order?
This exhibition was the first comprehensive presentation of video work, installation, experimental music, photography and publications from China in Uruguay. Bringing together real and fictitious narratives constructed by seventeen artists and two independent publishers, the exhibition explored the unseen rhythms of emotional and psychosocial life in urban China. For the opening of the exhibition, the museum hosted a mini-conference where we screened three films about urban China, including a lecture by Zandie Brockett about Chinese Modernity, and contemporary China’s emergent relations with Latin America.
