Two groundbreaking exhibitions in Shanghai are tackling issues such as revolutions, colonial history and climate change head on, with Chinese and international artists offering compelling and refreshing perspectives that resonate far beyond the banks of the Huangpu River.
At the Rockbund Art Museum, “The Great Camouflage” is a powerful exploration of anti-colonial thought, co-curated by the museum’s executive director and chief curator, X Zhu-Nowell, and the US-born artist Kandis Williams, who had her first museum survey at the Walker Art Centre in Minneapolis in the US earlier this year.
